John was out this morning and had a Sand Martin and a Little Ringed Plover at the reservoir. A few of the regular dog walkers also described a bird that flying around just before he got there that sounded very much like an Oystercatcher...

There was a Little Grebe at the reservoir that John spotted at lunch time, a bird rarely found at the reservoir. In the evening John and I were out and were joined by our friend Dan. A flock of c.40 Sand Martins had gathered up below a very dark cloud. They circled widely around the reservoir for quite a while but didn't come down to the water that much. Other than that the only other bird of note was a Red Kite.
