Wednesday 28th August

There was a report yesterday of a Black-necked Grebe at Shustoke so I went this morning to see if the bird was present. I scanned from the car park but couldn’t locate the bird. I decided to carry on round the Reservoir with just a single Shoveler (first of the autumn). From the west end a scan of the distant pylons revealed an adult Peregrine while the recently harvested field produced a flock of c.40 Linnet.

In addition there were two Common Sandpiper which I saw on a couple of occasions and c.50 Lapwing, there were also c.80 Great Crested Grebe. The only other bird of note was a Lesser Whitethroat.
