Update: Mandarins at Weir Wood Reservoir; Siskins and Brambling at Warnham NR

Tuesday 11th February 2025

Weir Wood Reservoir

  • Whilst carrying out my regular winter duties, my friend Bob and I heard a really noisy flock of ducks flying over the treetops and out over the reservoir.  They turned out to be Mandarins, my first of the year

Warnham Nature Reserve, Horsham, Sussex 


A return visit to this site proved very profitable.
  • There were several Siskins around today, visiting the feeders at regular intervals.




  • A female and, shortly afterwards, a male Brambling were seen foraging on the ground by the feeders and associating with the Chaffinches. 


  • The Redpolls were still present.
