The reservoir is still low after all the rain we've had. There weren't many changes to yesterday's avifauna. More Pied Wagtails though, up to 14, as well as a few Meadow Pipits on the shore and overhead. The odd Grey Wagtail is regular now as is a Raven in the fields beyond the reservoir.

A single Common Sandpiper was in the far corner with three Lapwings but that was about it. Cut Wood was a little more interesting with quite a selection of bird song. The Robins had decided to start singing or tacking as perhaps some non-residents passed through. Coal Tits were singing and a Great Spotted Woodpecker was calling away.
Back home a Willow Warbler gave a brief snatch of song and we've had several juvenile Goldfinches on the feeders along with a few more Greenfinches and Chaffinches.

Ah well, back to the bird report.
