I had time to spare before work this morning so was able to spend about forty minutes at the reservoir in temperatures of minus four degrees Celsius! Despite the chill in the air it was a lovely morning and there were a few birds about as well. Nine Tufted Duck were off the dam, with a further nine at the southern end of the reservoir.
Two Lesser Redpolls were feeding on weeds on the northern causeway and a pair of Little Grebes were on West Pool. Another patch year tick today with two male Reed Buntings jostling for position on the edges of West Pool.
The southern end of the reservoir produced more duck than of late with Wigeon numbers having increased slightly to around seventy birds and half a dozen Teal were also noted.
Sutton Bingham year list for 2016 now at 68 species.
