Wet, wet, wet!

Hello

A very wet period and well into today made it very unappealing to go out and about! However a few hardy souls tried their luck and at Stanford Reservoir today there were still fourteen Red-crested Pochard, two Great White Egrets, a Yellow-legged Gull and two Kingfishers.

Six Grey Partridges were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton, these birds of wild stock rather than the coveys of released birds that are currently rummaging around the undergrowth at Pitsford Reservoir.

This afternoon an adult Mediterranean Gull and an adult Yellow-legged Gull were coming to bread just north of the dam and the Otter was showing well again at Summer Leys LNR.
