Main objective today was too check the Broadstone/Ingbirchworth area for calling Quail. Needless to say!
Castle Dam, Penistone - 1 adult Mute Swan (very scarce up here), 1 Canada Goose, 18 Mallards, 2 Moorhens,10 Coots + 4 young and one nest-building, c5 Swallows, c5 House Martins and a family party of 5 Grey Wagtails.
Ingbirchworth Reservoir - 3 Canada Geese, 41 Mallards with fresh broods of 4 + 6 ducklings, 1 drake Tufted Duck, 1 Little Grebe, 1 Common Buzzard, 2 Moorhens, 9 Coots + 3 young, 38 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 1 third cy Yellow-legged Gull and c10 Black-headed Gulls. All the gulls were flushed by an illiterate muppet who decided to walk his dog on the reservoir 'shoreline' near the overflow. What a clown - he must think the signs have been put up for other people. B*llocking administered - rant over).
Midhope Reservoir - 52 Greylag Geese and 3 Liitle Grebe + 1 young.
