Two to watch out for at local waters

 Yet another day of light winds from the east bringing the usual dense fog and rain throughout the day so grounded once again and once again falling back on some reserve blogs which I,m nearly running out of. The end of evening birding for this year with clocks back tonight.

                Heres a couple of specials for reservoir watchers to look out for anytime now, but peak time Dec to March.
