Sunday 30th October a.m.
Yet another cloudy morning with a temperature of 10°C as we made our way through the village to Hewenden Viaduct.In the trees at the side of the viaduct were a mixed flock of birds containing
Blue,
Great and
LT Tits plus
Goldfinch these added to the
Robins and
Collared Doves we had seen on our walk here.An initial look at the Reservoir had
BH Gulls on the Dam wall,a couple of
Canadas,
Mallards and a
Grey Heron on and by the water, above we were treated to a flypast of c100
Woodpigeons.At the other side of the viaduct we saw a couple of distant
Mistle Thrush, from here it was quiet through the wood and the top end of the Reservoir but coming back the other side it livened up a bit.We saw a mixed flock of
Fieldfare and
Redwings with c20 of each on the water were four
Teals and four
Tufteds all at distance,a
Cormorant was seen overhead.The Fieldfare and Redwings were scattered when a
Kestrel came and landed in the tree where they had made their quick exit from.Our final birds of the morning came at the farm where there were a couple of
Pied Wagtails and a
Grey Wagtail.
