11 Goldfinches
10 Reed Buntings

2 Goldcrests
and singles of Moorhen, Woodpigeon, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Redwing, Coal Tit and Long-tailed Tit.

Other birds noted at the reservoir included a Ruddy Shelduck, two drake Smew, a first year male Peregrine, a Raven, a Redshank, a Grey Wagtail, a Chiffchaff and a couple of Siskins.
