First trip to Shustoke Reservoir in about six weeks, where thankfully the water levels have got back to their normal levels. Birds seen today were, Kestrel, Pheasant, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Redwing, Song Thrush, Siskin, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Wren, Robin, Pied Wagtail, Lapwing, Pochard, Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe, Tufted Duck, Mute Swan, Cygnet (4) Pekin Duck and Cormorant. On the last visit the Mute Swan and Cygnets were conspicuous in their absence, but they have relocated to the Fly Fisher's pool, but unfortunately the Cygnets numbers are down to four from the original seven. Best spot of the day was the Siskin, firstly because they are great little bird and secondly because I don't see them very often. The Redwing count was very high today, they were nearly everywhere I went, so far this year I haven't seen any Fieldfare, I should have gone to Kingsbury Water Park yesterday because a fellow birder said he saw upward of six hundred. Other wildlife seen today was, Grey Squirrel, Sheep and Rabbit.
