An early morning visit turned up a couple of Greylag Geese...most unexpected. Originally present off the dam they moved to the southern end before flying of north after which I was unable to relocate them. Also from the dam a total of nine Common Sandpipers and an unseasonal adult summer-plumaged Black-headed Gull flew through.
Moving to the southern end of the reservoir there were three Mute Swans new in and what was presumably last weeks pair of Tufted Duck and the pair of Teal were noted again. A Little Egret flew in to the southern end but I guess didn't like it much and flew back north after ten minutes or so.
A Reed Warbler was in full song and a Raven passed over. Finally, three Sand Martins and a few Swallows trickled though. A return visit in the afternoon produced a Kingfisher but nothing else!
