My wife and I went to a garden centre in Thornton with the intention of
walking around the reservoir later, but it was crowded with cars parking along
the road we decided to go to Beacon Hill.
We walked from the car park to the top of the hill and then dropped down
on the northeast side before walking around the path back to the car park. It was quiet bird-wise and there was no sign
of the hoped for Tree Pipit. I did see a
Green Woodpecker, a couple of Barn Swallow around the car park and heard two
Willow Warbler and a Blackcap.
From Beacon Hill we went to Swithland Reservoir where we had a sandwich
but like Beacon Hill it was quiet. There
were four Common Terns over the water and I had a brief view of a Common
Buzzard and another Green Woodpecker with best bird being a Grey Wagtail that
flew over the dam calling.
