Hewenden Reservoir

Wednesday 11th November p.m. 

Some sun this afternoon with a temperature of 8°C, so a walk on to Hewenden Reservoir was in order where I was rewarded with a Gadwall for the first time at this location.  Also here were a pair of Goldeneye, Wigeon, Teal, Tufteds, Cormorants, Canadas, Moorhen, Mute Swan, BH Gulls and Herring Gull.  Walking back home the afternoon was rounded off with two male Pheasants.

Redcar Tarn

Monday 11th November p.m.

After a long spell of dull, dreary weather the sun finally broke through this afternoon so I decided to make the most of it and arrived at Redcar Tarn with a temperature of 10°C. Here there were c200 Canadas, c75 BH Gull and c100 mix of Herring & LBB Gulls and good to see the male Pintail & Wigeon still present.  Others included Lapwing, Starlings, Moorhen, Jackdaw, Rook, Robin and Pied Wagtail.
