WeirWood from a breezy dam at dawn, a lovely looking male Yellow Wagtail on the top of the dam with 3 Meadow Pipits all flying off towards the pumping station at 7:10 due to disturbance. Also of note were 3 Swallows early on over the reservoir and the Great Egret along the north bank but sadly little else.
At the west end lone Teal and Tufted Duck were noted but it was unusually quiet bird wise. However a Redwing was noted in the c/pk and Marsh Tit again on the feeders, also Great spotted Woodpecker. The heronry was very busy and quite noisy, many hungry chicks no doubt.
On Whillett’s a Water Rail and 2 Reed Buntings were seen plus a single Little Egret.
