I spent a couple of hours birding at Arlington Reservoir this afternoon. In all I managed to clock up 27 species. All the usual suspects were there but there were 2 pleasant surprises.
- I managed to see my first kingfisher of the year. It was sitting on the lower reaches of the jetty by the fishing clubhouse.
- There was a common sandpiper at the far end (dam end) of the reservoir. It whizzed past me along the shoreline as I was braving the gale force wind.
A very satisfying couple of hours!
2023 species count = 182
