Leeshaw

Saturday 24th June a.m.
A cloudy start with a temperature of 13°C, the field below the reservoir was full of birds c50 Lapwing,Curlew,Oystercatcher,Rook,Carrion Crow and Starling.Most of these lifted as I drove past, looking at the water there were Greylags & Canadas, one of the Greylags had a orange neck ring. I tried to read this but couldn't see it properly, looking at the pictures it may be 308 but again it is not clear enough to be sure.Other birds seen were LBB Gulls at the top end of the reservoir, a couple of Grey Herons,Little Owl,Swallow and Swift.

  2. Thanks John the Little Owls are always good to see they blend in well with the walls though.
