15/03/2016 Weir Wood Reservoir

Tuesday 15th March 2016
Weir Wood Reservoir

My usual weekly stint with the Friends of Weir Wood Reservoir produced some interesting sightings:-


  • On Pintail bank we flushed at least 15 Snipe as we carried out a survey for mice and voles etc.



  • The feeders by the hide produced the usual sightings with Marsh Tit, Coal Tit and Greenfinch the pick of the bunch.  

  • No sign of the Kingfishers or the Mandarins.



  • The survey gave us 12+ Wood Mice, 13 Voles, 1 Water Shrew and 4 Toads.  Another couple of weeks should see us finding snakes etc.
