Colourful nest!
As I walked around the site I also saw 2 of the 3 Mallard
ducklings from Wednesday, 5 Swallows, including one with quite
a lot of white in the feathers, 14 Tufted Ducks, 11 Coots,
3 Moorhens, 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Great-crested
Grebe and 4 Linnets which were feeding on dandelions
by the top reservoir. A gorgeous male Siskin was singing
around the Larch trees as well. I've recorded them singing here before, but
haven't yet managed to record any other evidence of breeding.

Mallard ducklings
When I arrived on site this morning the
temperature gauge was showing 2 degrees. It had risen to 5 degrees by 8am, but
that still didn't stop the snow shower that blew in as I was standing on the
top reservoir!
Snow flurries in May - nice!
