Saturday 3rd March a.m.
The poor weather continued with snow and ice underfoot and a temperature of-2°C as I headed off towards Hewenden Reservoir.On the way I saw
Robins,Blue Tits,Great Tits,Collared Dove and
Dunnock trying to find food in the poor conditions.The reservoir held six
Goosanders,three
Canadas, three
Mute Swans,five
Cormorants, one female
Goldeneye,Moorhen,Teal,BH and
Common Gulls with
Jackdaws on the dam wall.Then the relative quiet was disturbed with the pipping of a pair of
Oystercatchers as they flew round and landed on the side of the res.
