I only visited the north side
of the reservoir and almost immediately I had both Peregrines flying around and
then perched in the tree at the top of Buddon Wood. They disappeared twice during the afternoon
and were still absent when I left. A
scan of the water produced the female Velvet Scoter and two Shelduck, which are
unusual visitors here. During my stay I
had a Tawny Owl calling on a couple of occasions in the waterworks grounds and
as I was thinking of leaving a wagtail called as it appeared to drop into the
overflow area. I thought that it was a
Grey Wagtail so walked to the overflow area to find a female Grey Wagtail
feeding at the edge of the flowing water.
This was my first sighting here since September last year and as I
watched the female a male also appeared and began feeding close by.
