Local Reservoir

Saturday 11th May a.m.
 After some early mist it brightened up with a temperature of 7°C and so I paid a visit to a reservoir that BOG members can use. Here I started off with three Wheatears and then Common Sandpipers, Grey Wagtail and Redshank. On the water were Greylags with two broods of goslings, at the top end of the reservoir there were c100 LBB Gulls with a number of  Herring Gulls.From the hide I got a good view of a DunlinOystercatchers flew overhead, Curlews were also seen & heard.Others included Canadas, Tufteds, Mipits, RL Partridge, Swallow, Pied Wagtail and as I was leaving a Willow Warbler.
