Sunday 27th August a.m.
Another bright and sunny start to the morning with a temperature of 11°C as I had an enjoyable walk through the village and round Hewenden Reservoir.The highlight of the walk was as I came round a corner in front of me was a sparrowhawk perched on a gate post.There was little on the water just
Mallards with
BH Gull numbers building on the dam wall and in a distant field
Canadas which were joined by more which flew past me.A
Grey Wagtail flew on to the dam wall and it was good to see a female
Pheasant with a juvenile.Some
Swallows posed nicely and there are still plenty of
House Martins flying around overhead, a
Grey Heron and a
Cormorant were on opposite sides of the Reservoir.There were a flock of 23
Lapwings at the side of the Reservoir which was unusual but I was pleased to see them.A
Chiffchaff was heard briefly and a
Jay flew out of a tree and other usual species were also seen.
Nigel.
