Weir Wood Reservoir
Another day doing conservation work at the reservoir, this time cutting back the hedges to improve the views people see from the 2 lay-by's between the car park and Willet's Bridge. Water levels are dropping nicely, increasing the chances of attracting waders to the muddy surrounds.
- Before starting work we saw a marauding sparrowhawk.
- On the water we saw a couple of drake mandarins, a couple of snipe and a lovely kingfisher along with the usual suspects.
- During our lunch break we saw a couple of treecreepers in the trees next to the feeders. On the feeders a nuthatch kept coming and going and a great-spotted woodpecker appeared after a while.
- Shaun and Richard, making a new owl box in the car park, heard a coal tit and a bullfinch.
A lovely crisp day with lots achieved and at least 27 bird species seen.
