Nice to hear the call of the Curlew.
Shore doing well
1 of 4 Black Headed gulls
9 Lesser Black Backed present
Oyk bathing
Goldfinch with Dandelion seeds.
Dipper in the beck.
A pleasing morning weather-wise at Leeshaw reservoir with it just below the dense hill fog leaving full cloud and drizzle throughout at 5 degrees on a light WSW >3.
Plenty activity to keep the interest going this morning though nothing new other than 2 Dunlin >W, fast and low over the far banking. They made 2 attempts at landing but only a very narrow strip of shore in that area so they continued on.
Wader-wise, 4 Redshank, 6 Oystercatchers and 2 Common Sandpipers, plus the usual Curlews and Lapwings.
The Pink Footed Goose was still in the large goose field along with the Greylags and Canadas whilst lower down the track, a single Dipper was in the beck.
Quiet on the water with just Mallards, 2 Moorhen and 9 LBB gulls along with 4 Black Headed moving>NE. Very few small passerines with 7 Goldfinch, on dandelion seeds, 6 Meadow Pipits and plenty Starling but the Wheatears from my last visit seem to have gone straight through.
A dry forecast for morning on a light WSW and visibility reading good, we shall see !
