Saturday 23rd June a.m.
After my earlier visit to Leeshaw I moved to Leeming Reservoir where there was now more cloudy conditions with the temperature remaining at 11°C.I started off by scanning the start of the steam from the overflow of the reservoir and was rewarded with a
Dipper.Overhead there were two
Kestrels one briefly landing on a fence, it seemed to have its eye on a
Grey Wagtail which was carrying food no doubt for its young nearby.The Kestrel moved to a nearby field where it hovered looking for other food.The reservoir level was down exposing some shoreline which a
Common Sandpiper was making use of.On the water was a male
Tufted Duck with several
Mallards, overhead a couple of
Curlew flew past and shortly after a couple of
Cormorants did the same.There were also several
Swallows and I spotted a
House Martin with them there were at least six singing
Willow Warblers a couple of them were seen as I walked round.
