FARMOOR RESERVOIR
A very warm but breezy afternoon at Farmoor reservoir brought the crowds in.. of birds that is. Over a hundred Canada geese plus a few greylag were resting along shoreline along the causeway, together with large numbers of coots on the water. A few little grebes were among them. Also good numbers of tufted ducks. A few pied wagtail about, and a female red crested pochard also amongst today's sightings.
