Oxenhope Reservoir, evening visit, Members only.

 juv Gt Crested Grebe way out on the water
      2 Herrings on the spit between the ponds and reservoir
              Distant out of range shot
  This Herring taken at an amazing 260 x
                   Lapwings lined up by the ponds

An evening visit in poor birding conditions with wall to wall blue sky and sunshine, just what we don,t want.  Scanning was hard with the sun in the lens and bright reflection from the water but I think I covered most of it although it was impossible to split Med , Yellow Legged and Caspian if any were present.
No sign of the Wigeon which was still present this morning, ( CK ), but it could quite possibly have been hidden with the sea of in excess of 1000 gulls.
The juv Gt Crested Grebe and 3 Teal were still present from this morning ( CK ), but no waders other than Lapwing.
2 late Sand Martins >SW were a bonus.
