Walk through to the treatment works with CHAFFINCH,GREAT TIT and BLUE TIT. Only came across one LONG TAILED TIT. There where throughout the area calling and viewable GREENFINCH. View over the filter bed brought in 14 PIED WAGTAIL. Some about four where obviously WHITE WAG so not so bad but no real surprises. While viewing from bank a GOLDCREST put in a brief appearance and above my head where 4 REED BUNTING three male and a female bird.
Walk through covered area again was only good through several MOORHEN about 10 birds in all and a calling GREAT SPOTTED WOOD.
At far end while walking through the wet marsh area before caravans I put up a SHORT EARED OWL. Which did me no favours in disappearing very quickly. Three pairs of MALLARD and MAGPI, plus a pair of CARRION CROW.
Out on to shore area a really large movement of GANNET all heading North and interspersed with RED-THROATED-DIVER. There where also several CORMORANT heading in much the same way.
Finished of walk with four SKYLARK on the levels and as one was very obliging we have pictures below.
This bird was obviously hungry and feeding, any idea of what it is?
