Great visit to Shustoke Reservoir today where I certainly picked the right morning as it was more like a sunny day in May than the middle of November.
Highlight of the day was seeing a small flock of Meadow Pipit feeding along the waters edge in among the bushes that are now dying back, they also had both Pied and Grey Wagtails for company, it was great observing them until an unrestrained dog scared them off !
Not much to report on the water other than there were a good number of Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Coot, Tufted Duck and Mallard.
Surprisingly the trees around the reservoir were very quite apart from the odd small Tit and Finch flock.
Birds seen today were, Buzzard, Kestrel, Meadow Pipit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Moorhen and Coot.
