Shustoke Reservoir.





Nice trip out today to a very dark, dank and muddy Shustoke Reservoir in North Warwickshire where the highlight of the day was seeing a flock of .c10 Meadow Pipit foraging among the vegetation and bushes along the waters edge. Other highlights were hearing many solitary Song Thrush singing no matter where I went, observing many Blackbird and Robin, seeing and hearing the many mixed Tit and finch flocks including Long Tailed Tits with their very loud trill, on the water there were male and female Goosnader, 20 Mute Swan and hundreds of Coot and a couple of Grey Heron which made a nice change.

Birds seen today were Meadow Pipit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Robin, Wren, Dunnock, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Pheasant, Cormorant, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Lapwing, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Goosander, Gadwall. Pochard, Tufted Duck, Mallard and Canada Goose.
