A pleasant afternoon at the reservoir today and I started off with a quick check around the Fishing Lodge where it was pretty quiet, though forty Wigeon were noted as well as two drake Tufted Duck. With little else going on at this end of the reservoir I drove round to the southern end and took a bit of a stroll. Five Meadow Pipits were in the field north of the Canoe Club and two Stock Dove flew over. A pair of Siskin were near the car park and eight Common Gulls were on the water.
I finished the visit with a wander around the feeder stream and saw a further eight Siskin plus a Nuthatch. My first patch Fieldfares were also seen today in what turned out to be a nice relaxed birding session.
