FAIRLY QUIET AT FARMOOR...

Having heard that a black necked grebe had been yesterday at Farmoor's Reservoir I decide to head over there on my only free afternoon this week. It was a pleasantly sunny stroll around lake F2 ,albeit breezy in places; no black necked grebe but both great crested and little grebes seen. Also a stop at the hide in the neighbouring nature reserve produced both male and female reed buntings, a grey heron and a water rail. 

Bird seen included:
grey heron, water rail, reed bunting, great tit, dunnock, long tailed tit, canada goose, greylag goose, little grebe, great crested grebe, mute swan, mallard, tufted ducks, coot, moorhen, cormorant, grey wagtail, pied wagrtail, black headed gull.
