Sunny May Evening
Pleasant stroll round the reservoir this evening with lots of insect life. Swallows and House Martins swooping over the water and Swifts higer overhead. Female Mute Swan still on her nest with the male getting quite agressive and having a go at some anglers Also two GCGs sitting on nests and two Little Grebe diving at the south end. Five Tuftys plus the usual Mallard, Coot and Moorhen. On land one Grey Wagtail at the foot of the overflow to the lower pond and the first warbler I have seen around the reservoir this summer - looks like a Chiffchaff but didn't sound like one! In addition the usual numbers of Dunnock, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Blackbird, Robin, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long-tailed Tit and House Sparrow (North side only), Alex
