Rishton Reservoir 22nd March

A brief visit to the reservoir this morning produced the first Little Ringed Plovers of the spring with three on the far bank as well as a Redshank and two Oystercatchers. Three Tufted Ducks were on the Reservoir itself along with two pairs of Great Crested Grebes.

The Song Thrush in the back garden has been waking us up earlier and earlier and good numbers of Chaffinches are visiting the feeders along with a single female Siskin. A couple of Redpolls popped in briefly.
