February 10th

Around fifty eight Teal and twenty six Wigeon are around the north end with fourteen Goosanders and nineteen Great Crested Grebe are seen regular at the dam end. Only twelve Tufted Ducks are on the reservoir which seems a small number compared with other local waters . There are two Kingfishers around with one seen at each end of the reservoir , and a couple of Water Rail and Grey Wagtails noted south of the dam. A small flock of Lesser Redpolls along with half a dozen Siskin frequent the alders just south west of the miniature railway station.
