Saturday 20th October a.m.
A mild start to the morning with a temperature of 9°C and some good spells of sunshine on my walk up to and around Hewenden Reservoir.The highlights of the morning came from the top end of the reservoir where there were eleven
Wigeon and six
Teal.Also near here I spotted my first
Redwings of the Autumn and saw around 25 birds pile into a Holly Tree but not showing for a picture. Then a flock of c50
Fieldfare appeared some being more obliging for a picture before the flock flew in to the distance.A good number of other species were seen including
Blue Tit,Canada,Collared Dove, Coot, Cormorant,Kestrel,Mistle Thrush,Tufted Duck,Grey Heron,Moorhen,Pied Wagtail and
Mute Swan.
