Sunday 7th July a.m.
A bright sunny morning with a start temperature of 12°C as I set off through the village seeing
Swifts and
House Martins overhead.At the viaduct there were another twenty Swifts feeding around the area, on the reservoir there was a distant
Mute Swan and
Canadas were grazing in the field.A small wood at the other side of the viaduct had a family of
Wrens and nearby a juvenile bird which I could not ID but I was able to get some pictures.
A good walk around the Reservoir adding
Pied Wagtail, Chiffchaff, Goldfinch, BH Gull, LBB Gull, Robin and
Moorhen.
I've had a look at the pictures of the juvenile bird and the only thing I can come up with is a young
Pied Flycatcher, which if I'm right would be a great surprise and a first for the Hewenden area.
