Sunday 11th November 2018 a.m.
A dull gloomy morning with a temperature of 4°C, not really a pictures morning but I persevered nevertheless. Despite the gloom there were plenty of birds about, starting off with
House Sparrows, Starlings,Collared Dove,Goldfinch and
Chaffinch. As I viewed Hewenden Reservoir from the viaduct a pair of
Mute Swans circled me before landing on the water.Others were
BH Gulls, Common Gull, Cormorants,Tufteds and
Canadas. Further along a mixed flock of c100
Fieldfare and
Redwings flew past some landing in a distant tree.
I made my way to my viewing point at the top end of the Reservoir where I saw
Teal,Wigeon,Grey Heron and a couple of
Goosanders. By now it had started to rain lightly so I headed home not adding to my tally on the way.
