Weirwood & Bough Beech Reservoirs ...28th January 2010

Standing by the hide at Weirwood Reservoir, we managed to see our target bird for the day - Marsh Tit. Just one put in appearance at the feeders, though. Other birds at the feeders included a Great Spotted Woodpecker, a Nuthatch, a Coal Tit and a Treecreeper was on trees nearby. On the reservoir, 83 Pochard were present.

At Bough Beech Reservoir, good numbers of Pochard were present with a few Gadwall and Teal, but the best were 3 female Smew on the North Lake.
