After not having the opportunity to spend any time at the reservoir for nearly two weeks I finally managed nearly two hours on site this morning, problem was there were very few birds to be seen. Starting at the Fishing Lodge the Wigeon flock numbered one hundred and ten individuals but there was nothing in with them unfortunately other than three Teal (a further four Teal were on West Pool). Along the arm I flushed four Snipe from the water's edge and a couple of Meadow Pipits were seen in flight. The pick of the day was the Little Owl which I was lucky enough to see again and what's more managed some wonderful views for a change.
So no additions to the year list and not much variety among the species present but the visit was rescued by the Little Owl.
