With only a moderate breeze today and reasonable temperatures, I thought I would try for the 3 'good birds' at Covenham Reservoir. An invigorating clockwise complete circuit of the Reservoir (12.00 -2.00pm) produced :
Purple Sandpiper - at the water's edge (occasionally harassed by an aggressive Redshank); a very approachable bird.
Grey Phalarope - c 1-2m from the water's edge; also very approachable.
Long-tailed Duck (female) some 40-50m from the bank (occasionally pecked by a Coot). I could finally use my telescope to good advantage, having 'lugged' it around the Reservoir.
3 brilliant birds plus incl. :
Goldeneye - 15+
Cormorant - 35+
Little Grebe
Great-crested Grebe.
I look forward to seeing any of your photos on the web, Russell and Roy.
I returned to BBH via Bardney ("The Nag's Head") and Nocton Fen (3.00 - 4.15pm) :
C. Buzzard - sat on a field
Barn Owl - 1
Fieldfare - 40+
Mute Swan - c50 on a field
Grey Heron
Pheasant
RL Partridge.

Freddy
