Shustoke Reservoir.





















Another good day birdwatching and wildlife observing at a sunny Shustoke Reservoir. It was nice to see my first Swallows and House Martins of the year darting over the reservoir searching for insects. Notable birds spotted today were Swallow, House Martin, Nuthatch, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Pied Wagtail, Buzzard, Grey Partridge, Great Crested Grebe, Tufted Duck, Grey Heron, Cormorant and 6 Mute Swan and 2 fully grown Cygnets. The people from Exe Valley Fishery were back again today, restocking the Shustoke Fly Fishing Pool with 500 Rainbow Trout. Also spotted today were Sheep, Lamb, Rabbit and a Stoat.
