An early morning visit produced some quality birds but no year ticks. Two Hobbies were seen over the southern end of the reservoir and appeared to be an adult and juvenile bird, so I guess they have bred locally, but I have no idea where! Also at the southern end a total of four Mandarin, two Raven and a mixed party of adult and young Reed Warblers and Reed Buntings were a nice sight.
Two Great Black-backed Gulls were still present off the Sailing Club and a single Little Egret and three Common Sandpipers were seen from the dam.
I popped back to the reservoir in the evening and saw pretty much the same as I had earlier in the day, a single Hobby was seen from the Canoe Club chasing off a Buzzard! Two Little Egrets were noted and a handful of Linnets were near the Fishing Lodge. A Kingfisher added a splash of colour.
