Another hour long visit this morning was, on the whole, pretty quiet. There were however, 4
Teal on the middle reservoir, which could have been some of those seen earlier in the autumn, or possibly new birds. Whichever way, they seemed quite settled and will hopefully remain for some time yet. 2
Linnets were also spotted feeding on vegetation on the wall of the top reservoir, but didn't want to be photographed!
Common Buzzard was heard, but not seen.
Other water birds seen today were;
Mallard (81),
Moorhen (5),
Coot (8),
Tufted Duck (17),
Pied Wagtail (1),
Grey Wagtail (1 heard),
Black-headed Gull (5),
Great-crested Grebe (1 adult),
Little Grebe (1) and
Mandarin (11).
Away from the birds, I managed to find a patch of Fly Agaric fungi and some other small fungi which I believe are Waxcaps.
