A dull and hazy morning but sufficient visibility at 10 degrees and dead calm conditions.
Another very busy wader morning with small waders darting in all directions over the water and on the shoreline. The Dunlins stuck to the distant peninsular so could only be seen through the scope whilst Common Sandpipers are now paired up and defending territory. More Swallows over the water >S whilst 2 Golden Plover dropped into the top field.
A long awaited , first of the year for me, Linnet was near the top gate briefly and a pair of Tufted duck were new to the water. A nugget with a drone was buzzing around the north end of the reservoir but unfortunately I,d left my ground to air missile launcher at home.
