A week after my last visit, I was back down at Linacre this morning for a walk around all three reservoirs.
Overall, waterbirds numbers were very similar to last week, except for Moorhen and Coot which had risen to 19 (15 adults and 4 juveniles) and 9 (5 adults and 4 juveniles) respectively. Other birds reported were: Kingfisher (1), Grey Heron (1), Grey Wagtail (2), Mallard (60), Mandarin Duck (70), Tufted Duck (25, up from 12 last week), Little Grebe (1) and Great-crested Grebe (5; 3 adults and 2 juveniles).
The highlight of the morning, however, was another flock/skein of c.98 Pink-footed Geese flying over west at 9am.
Other birds seen around the reservoirs included: Chiffchaff (1 singing), Magpie (3), Woodpigeon, Nuthatch, Blackbird, Robin, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw and Wren.
