Grimsbury Reservoir :: 21 April 2019

After a delicious BBQ I decided to make a quick circuit of Grimsbury Reservoir. The water was very quiet with only a handful of the usual species. At the waterworks I searched along the hedge hoping for black redstart but always unlikely. There was a single linnet.

WhitethroatAt the north end there were plenty of tits and a number of blackcap and whitethroat. Nothing overly special on the riverside but still happy to see chiffchaff and willow warbler. Unusually there were a couple of house sparrows in the brambles.

Sightings included: blackbird, blackcap, blue tit, bullfinch, buzzard, canada goose, carrion crow, chaffinch, chiffchaff, goldfinch, great crested grebe, great tit, greenfinch, house sparrow, linnet, long-tailed tit, magpie, mallard, moorhen, mute swan, pied wagtail, reed bunting, robin, rook, whitethroat, willow warbler and woodpigeon.
