Despite several short visits to the reservoir over the course of the week I've had to wait until this morning to add anything to the patch year list when, finally and three days later than the average arrival date, I found my first Common Sandpiper of the year. Just a single bird feeding on the water's edge in front of the Fishing Lodge.
Out of interest, a visit yesterday afternoon did produce a total of five Mute Swans, an unusually high count for the reservoir especially as I've not seen any on patch for several weeks.
