A twitch to Eyebrook Reservoir, Leicestershire & Rutland - June 13, 2014

With news of a male Red-necked Phalarope at Eyebrook Reservoir I decided to go over late morning.

I had a Great Spotted Woodpecker fly over the road close to Stonton Wyville on route but nothing else of note.


On arrival the phalarope was still present at the inflow where it remained for most of my stay, although it was flushed by a Red Kite on one occasion but soon returned.  The Black-tailed Godwit and three Garganey present yesterday were also still present.  There were just four Shelduck today but the drake Wigeon was still present and two Little Egrets were observed on the west bank.  Six Red Kites and four Buzzards were observed between the inlet and Stoke Dry Wood and two more distant Red Kites were also observed.
