Another trip to North Warwickshire today to visit the wonderful Shustoke Reservoir.
Highlights again were seeing all the great juvenile birds, I hadn't even got out of the car when I saw a huge flock of birds flying into the pines trees, birds in the flock were Blue Tit, Great Tit and Goldfinch which included many juveniles of all three birds. Other juvenile birds seen today were Woodpigeon, Magpie, Cygnet (7), Canada Goose Gosling (7), Mallard Duckling (24) and one Great Crested Grebe and eleven Coot on the nest.
Birds seen today were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Goldfinch, Chiffchaff, Whitethroat, House Sparrow, Robin, Starling, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Swift, House Martin, Swallow, Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Lapwing, Common Tern, Cormorant, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard and Canada Goose.
As on my last visit the reservoir and the fly fishers pool were woefully low on waterfowl, at least the ones that were present all looked fit and healthy.
It was great to see many Rabbits about in the fields especially the juveniles.
