In contrast to this mornings birding Mecca a late afternoon tour round sent me crashing back to earth.
Leeshaw reservoir held 5 Canadas, 9 Mallard and around a dozen gulls as well as the usual sp.
Over the hill to Nab Water Lane produced 3 Kestrel and about 9 Red Legged Partridge whilst Fly Flatts was busy with boats and wind surfers so no sign of this mornings Tufted and Wigeon although only scoped from the top road.
Hopefully the wildfowl move will continue so we,ll see what tomorrow brings.
