Dave and I went to Dean’s Lane
this morning in the hope of seeing some visible migration. When we arrived Roger and Steve were already
there and indicated it was very quiet.
There was some migration but it was very slow and by 10:00 had almost
stopped and so Dave and I decided to go to Swithland Reservoir before heading
off home. The best at Dean’s Lane were a
couple of Siskin but as always there were Buzzard, Kestrel, Great Spotted
Woodpecker and Nuthatch and we did hear a Chiffchaff.
On reaching the southern causeway
at Swithland Reservoir there were numerous wildfowl on the southern section,
mainly Wigeon but there was also Gadwall; Mallard; Shoveler and Tufted Duck and
we did find ten Mandarin and Grey Wagtail.
There were far fewer birds on the northern section with Teal and Great
Crested Grebe being the dominate species and we also found a single Goldeneye
and a Little Egret.
