Ringstone Reservoir and distant birds seen from our garden

Sunny with a cool wind with some east in it.

We had to make an 'at distance' visit to Soyland this morning.
We stopped at Ringstone for a very short while.
Also here were JB and PD and another birder who I did not know.
We were all giving each other the 'cold shoulder' keeping the correct distance from each other.
JB pointed out a pr. of very distance Buzzards and a 3rd bird, probably another Buzzard.
I was hoping for Golden Plover or Common Sandpiper neither of which were obliging.

Birds:

Pr. Great Crested Grebe.
Drake Goldeneye.
Pr. Oystercatcher.
Small Lapwing flock.
Pied Wagtail.

Garden:

We spent the afternoon in the garden (where I am banned  from touching a paint brush).
Sue painted everything in sight - except the lawn!
I was chief labourer,  and I kept a lookout for any airborne birds - hoping for Osprey!
No Osprey but I did get a few interesting birds moving through.

A pr. Buzzard flew W.

A short period where mist formed coincided with 4 very distant Heron together coming into view, but a long way off.
Other than that a large Gull, probably a Lesser Black-backed.
Woodpigeon and Corvids was about it.

A couple of Big Bees.

A short saunter up the fields opposite out house, after tea,  revealed a really well camouflaged Little Owl and a second one which is always good.
