Saturday 17th September a.m.
A good morning with some sunny spells and a temperature of 11°C as we set off on our walk seeing
House Martins overhead.Looking at the reservoir overflow there were three
Grey Wagtails, just a couple of
Mallards on the reservoir and around 30
BH Gulls on the dam wall.Station Road produced
Swallows,Linnets and
Pied Wagtail, then a quiet walk through the wood and round the top end of the reservoir.Coming back looking at the Mallards on the water we spotted a single
Wigeon among them, which was our first at this site.As we got near the farm there were more Swallows and a flock of birds containing Linnets,
Goldfinch,Mipits and
Starlings.There were more Pied Wagtails at the farm as well as
Dunnock and a
Robin as we headed home.
