A long drive out to White Home Reservoir this afternoon. Another really hot day with the forecast showers not materialising so all the wet gear was in the sack.
I was hoping for a 'rare' Wader but...
Very picturesque here with the white sand and white sand stones giving a "beach" effect.
Not many birds though.
A few Meadow Pipit flitting about as I approached the reservoir. A Wheatear flushed and left pronto.
A Curlew was heard from the moor and a few Canada Geese were on a distant shoreline.
That, being my lot after over 2 hours of searching reminded of an old proverb that my granny used to quote me...
"The grass is always Greenshank".
I had a look at Blackstone Edge Reservoir before enduring the Sowerby Bridge rush hour car park.
I faired just a little better here.
c40 Canada Geese.
4 Pied Wagtail.
1 Mallard with 2 Ducklings.
5 Common Sandpiper.
Meadow Pipits.
A Green Woodpecker flew over the garden late this evening.
A Large Gull over late on - a Lesser Black-backed Gull.
