Thursday 1st May a.m.
Another hot sunny morning with a start temperature of 12°C, as I approached the Resevoir there was alot of shore showing which was a good sign for waders. There was a bird at the edge of the water which immediately focused my thoughts as to what it was I could only think of Wood Sandpiper! The sun was behind the bird so I walked round the Reservoir and with the sun now on the bird I came to the same conclusion, a lifer for me. Plenty other birds too with c250 Lesser Black-backed Gull, a few Herring Gulls, Canadas, Tufteds, Greylags with goslings and Pied Wagtail. Another tiny bird was at the edge of the water a first this year with Little Ringed Plover, others were Common Sandpiper, Curlew, Redshank, Lapwing, Oystercatcher and Red Grouse.
