Weir Wood Reservoir
Another good weather day - another good birding day! This time the venue was Weir Wood Reservoir near East Grinstead.
- Pick of the birds at the feeders at West End was the Marsh Tit, closely followed by the Coal Tit and the Great Spotted Woodpecker.
- On the water the superb Kingfisher provided the highlight.
- Switching to the dam end provided sightings of Goldcrest and a superb Grey Wagtail.
- Pride of place however had to be the Great Northern Diver seen from the north bank to the west of the picnic area. Add to this Green Woodpecker, Fieldfare, Redwing and Jay and you have a really good package.
3 hours of sheer joy!
