I managed a couple of quick visits on Saturday, seeing a total of three Mediterranean Gulls (two adults at lunchtime and a further adult late afternoon) but there was nothing much else about other than a large flock, at least one hundred birds, of Lapwing which were over the northern end of the reservoir for a few minutes.
Today I decided that after a couple of overnight frosts I'd try a flying lunchtime visit to see if the colder weather had forced anything in. An adult Mediterranean Gull was off the northern causeway and a Green Woodpecker was a new bird for the year list, nothing at the southern end, but a flock of ninety-five Wigeon and around a hundred Canada Geese from the Fishing Lodge. A Kingfisher whizzed by and my second year tick of the day came in the form of a Little Egret in the north-east corner. No scarcer wildfowl unfortunately, but I guess it was worth a look.
