Made my first visit of November to Linacre on Sunday and spent a chilly couple of hours walking around all three reservoirs. Overall pretty quiet, but I was very lucky to stumble upon a Kingfisher that was fishing on the middle reservoir. I even managed to see it catch a fish, which was very nice!
Other birds noted were: Mallard (75), Tufted Duck (32), Coot (5), Moorhen (6), Grey Heron (1), Grey Wagtail (1), Pied Wagtail (2), Mandarin Duck (30), Black-headed Gull (40) and Great-crested Grebe (1 adult and 1 juvenile).
I filled up the feeders again, so hopefully we should be able to get down to do some ringing this weekend.
Welcome to my blog all about my birdwatching, wild bird ringing activities and moth recording at Linacre Reservoirs, Derbyshire; in Great Britain and abroad.
