Early this morning (when it was still warm!), three Gadwall were on the reservoir and there was also a Common Sandpiper along the edges. When the strong north-easterly wind really kicked in several Swifts and hirundines dropped in, including a few Sand Martins. What I thought was also mildly interesting was a group of c.40 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (mostly immature) that dropped in, seemingly from quite high up, showing how many there are generally in the area.
Soon after I left Clive also had a Common Tern and Herring Gull. This evening Mark had two Little Ringed Plovers and a Yellow Wagtail. There are also two juvenile Grey Wagtails now being fed at the reservoir.
