Staines Reservoir

A quick trip over to the reservoirs where a possibly new Grey Phalarope had once again made an appearance onto the south basin.  This time the weather is stunning, a crisp morning with blue skies and a radiant sun, a real contrast to Saturday and the weekend in general.

The bird was closer in this time, and with the improved weather, the views were much more favorable.  A single Black Tern had lingered on while passerines included three Yellow Wagtail, plenty of Meadow Pipit, and a Skylark.  Around a 100 House Martin were feeding over the causeway that disappeared with a quarter of an hour of arriving.

Two Goldeneye and four Wigeon were also present.
