A trip to the reservoir this afternoon and at last it would appear that Spring has arrived. Most of the action was at the southern end of the reservoir where four Chiffchaffs were singing as were two Willow Warblers, and a further Willow Warbler showed nicely in some willows!
Over the water a flock of hirundines was gathered and contained Swallows, Sand Martins and a couple of House Martins, the latter being a 2013 year tick and overhead a Raven passed by and a Jay put in an appearance.
On the southern causeway three Common Sandpipers were present whilst on the water, a pair of Wigeon and four pairs of Teal were loitering.
A walk as far as the Canoe Club only added Reed Bunting to the list, but it was certainly encouraging to see some migrants arriving at last.
