Vile weather all day but great conditions for watching hirundines and swifts. Most surprising was a juvenile Swallow. Hard to imagine where this individual has come from, surely too cold and too early in the year for a UK bred bird....
8 Common Tern, 3 Whimbrel, 4 Ringed Plover & 2 Turnstone.
The Channel Wagtail is visiting the reservoir regularly but is flying off over to fields adjacent to the B4044 where it is perhaps breeding......
I've heard of this a few times before, where very early-bred birds from the Med head north with migrants. They do look a bit out of place though!
