the reservoir things were very quiet with only a couple of Mallards seen.As we came back towards
the dam we spotted a couple of Great Tits in the trees, there was a Cormorant on the float in the
water,later we saw another three fly over.Mallards were around the feeding area and there was a
male Tufted Duck.Another quiet visit so we decided to go to Redcar Tarn to see some more birds,
