I was able to spend a bit of time at the reservoir this afternoon, and it actually paid off as I found a drake Pintail amongst a flock of forty Wigeon viewable from the northern causeway. A single drake Teal and three Gadwall (two drakes and a duck) were also present. So a mini wildfowl influx today!
I then took a walk from the Canoe Club south along the water's edge as far as the "hide" and back again. Not a lot to be seen though I did discover a first-winter Stonechat that was pretty active as it flitted from perch to perch. A Kingfisher also put on quite a show as it sat in a small willow overhanging the water (a second Kingfisher was seen briefly in flight). Overhead just a single Meadow Pipit was noted.
