Local Reservoir

Saturday 25th May a.m.
After my visit to Leeming I went a short distance to another Local Reservoir which has restricted access for BOG members.Here there were c100 LBB Gulls along with a few BH and Herring Gull.
The highlight of the morning was observing six Dunlin feeding at the edge of the water.There were Common Sandpipers,Redshank,Oystercatcher and Curlew adding to the mix. Greylags and Canadas were on the water with four Tufteds and the surprise of a male Teal.Others seen were Swallow, Swift, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Meadow Pipit and Red-legged Partridge.
