Sunday 25th August

With a hot day in store Joy and I visited early, unfortunately not early enough, the Reservoir was rather busy, mainly with dog walkers. It wasn’t looking promising and for the first time in a while I couldn’t locate any Common Sandpiper. However, there were around 30 Lapwing and the same number of Cormorant.

We were about half way round when we picked up the call of a Greenshank overhead, I located above the Reservoir, eventually it just headed off in a southerly direction. Apart from a Kingfisher and a few common warblers it was a little disappointing.

I dropped in early evening and there was little change, but there was a single Common Sandpiper feeding in front of the Sailing Club.
