Wilstone Reservoir - 7th January 2018


As I drove down through the settling snow on Sunday I naturally thought what the..... and why didnt I go on Saturday,at least the forecast had said light winds and only a chance of light rain.
However since Jenny had arrived and we were expecting guests from Amersham we carried on putting net ride one up as the flurries of snow receded and the Green Sandpipers were calling. No luck on that front; too windy out at the end of the stream.
Emily and Sandra arrived along with our guests and strangely despite everything so did some birds. A male Fieldfare obligingly flew into net one as we stood close by. Later Redwings and Blackbirds, two Redpolls and a Chiffchaff made for a very pleasant morning indeed.
