Hewenden Reservoir

Monday 16th June a.m.

A sunny morning starting off at 16°C with a gentle breeze taking the edge of the temperature as I walked across Hewenden Viaduct with a dozen Swifts overhead. At the other side there was a Pied Wagtail with a beak full of flies, no doubt for young ones nearby, Swallows were in and out of old buildings.  On the Reservoir there were two Mute Swans and a few Canadas with more grazing at the other side of the res.  When I had walked round I could also see a Mistle Thrush and around the farm were more Swallows, House Martins & Sand Martins.  There were young Starlings feeding in nearby fields, others were Grey Heron & Goldfinch.
