A late visit today and again it was terribly quiet with very few birds. Wigeon numbers had dropped to just ten from yesterday's thirty-eight and four Teal were at the southern end. A lone Stonechat was present and finally a glimmer of excitement as two Cattle Egrets flew in from the east, over the dam, and towards the car park with a Little Egret just as I was about to give it up for the day.
This ended up being my final visit of the month to the reservoir and considering October is one of the best months for migration I failed to add a single species to my year list which after a great first half of 2023 has really dried up. Here's hoping the final two months of the year turn up a few new birds.
