Hewenden Reservoir

 Friday 2nd January a.m.

A sunny morning but cold with any water frozen over with a temperature of -1°C as I headed through the village seeing several House Sparrows & Starlings.  As I got close to the Reservoir a Kestrel was perched keeping an eye out, also Fieldfare, Mistle Thrush, Robin & Blue Tit were seen.  The dam wall held six Cormorant and a mix of Gulls, there were two pairs of Goldeneye on the water with Mallards & Tufteds.  There were c50 Canadas grazing in the field, others were Moorhen, Stock Dove, Gt Tit & Wren.
