Saturday 28th February a.m.
A damp start to the day with periods of drizzle ,thick fog on the hill tops but fortunately Leeshaw was just below the cloud,still gloomy with a temperature of 5°C.We pulled up by the reservoir gates & in the field below were
Canadas & Greylags, then lower down there was some movement,
Curlews! We counted a flock of 28, the most we have ever seen together, wonderful to see so many through the gloom.It was difficult to get snaps of them but we did our best, also good to see the
Little Owl back in its usual spot. The reservoir was quiet with just
BH Gulls ,Mallard & a
Cormorant. Oystercatchers were in the surrounding fields along with
Lapwings & Pheasant.
