As I was up in Bristol all day attending a conference it seemed only fitting to stop off at Chew Valley Lake on the way home just before it got dark. A quick stop at Heron's Green produced a couple of Great White Egrets plus a very brief Green Sandpiper. A small party of six Black-tailed Godwits were just off the causeway and amongst the gathered masses of wildfowl a single female Red-crested Pochard and a female Goosander.
Round then to Herriot's Pool where another two Great White Egrets were noted and a single Black-tailed Godwit and three Dunlin amongst a large flock of Lapwing. A female Goldeneye was noted and a couple of Shelduck were seen. Large numbers of birds out on the main reservoir but the failing light and deteriorating weather were against me.
