Saturday 30th November a.m.
A cold morning with a hard frost and a temperature of -2° as I headed towards Hewenden Viaduct, with the bonus of no rain. Not much seen on the way but there were plenty
Gulls on the dam wall,
Cormorants were in the water with two
Mute Swans and four
Tufteds. A walk to the top of the reservoir produced
Wigeon,Teal, Little Grebe, Coots, Moorhen, Grey Heron and
Canadas. On the way back a flock of birds had
Blue, Great and LT Tits with a
Goldcrest along for the ride. It was good to see my first
Fieldfare of the Autumn a total of eight later flew off, a flock of c50
Lapwings were flying over a distant field, others included
Treecreeper, Jay, Greenfinch and
Goldfinch.
