A run out to Whiteholme Reservoir this afternoon.
I find the walk to Whiteholme very enjoyable with some lovely moorland scenery and today there was loads of shoreline, a lot of it out of range of my bins, and this is a right enigmatic sort of a place, some days are brill others don't thrill!
Today the only thrill was in the walk.
Just a Pied Wagtail along the shoreline and a calling Curlew, far off over the NE moors (not seen).
Three Crow types passed by, then two passed the other way and one was perched on a very distant rock, all six failed the Raven test.
Blackstone Edge Reservoir.
There is stacks of shoreline here also and a quick scan from the roadside found a few more birds than Whiteholme.
1 Common Sandpiper.
2 Black Headed Gull.
3 Meadow Pipit.
5 Pied wagtail.
4 or so Canada Geese - distant.
Local Bradshaw Fields.
Quiet here as well.
3 Greenfinch, 2 Goldfinch.
1 Little Owl.
Red Legged Partridge calling - not seen.
Meadow Pipit.
1 Mistle Thrush.
Woodpigeon and Jackdaw and not much else.
Bit late with my blog tonight and I did see a Gull species over that I needs some more time to study.
