I've made a few brief visits to the reservoir over the last week, but I have to say it has been somewhat disappointing...hence the lack of blog postings. Wigeon and Teal numbers seem to have dropped markedly but seven Tufted Duck were seen on 11 February (with six present the following day but just one the day after that).
A quick morning visit today though did produce a very smart Lesser Redpoll feeding on the northern causeway and the edge of West Pool.
But the main reason for today's post? Well a patch year tick of course! A flock of around forty Golden Plover were seen in flight passing north over the fields behind West Pool. Been several years since I've seen any Golden Plover on the patch, so was pretty thrilled to see this morning's birds.
