Currently no sighting to report, maybe later.
A Long-billed dowitcher reported from Wanlip near Leicester has disappeared early, while a Green-winged Teal is reported from Daventry reservoir, this maybe do-able having never visited this site it may be interesting to see.
Not hearing any more news on the LBD and deciding the weather was not suitable for gull watching at Shawell I headed off to Daventry. Passing Shawell lagoons I could see gulls numbers were very low anyhow.
At the reservoir I walked over the dam, nearly blown over and down the east side, I could see a variety of ducks including 2 Goldeneye and 4 Goosander. Heading a little further to where the Green-winged Teal with Eurasion Teal has been, another birder said it had not been seen recently. The Eurasion Teal were a bit nervy, branches in the neighborouring trees banged and broke-off in the wind making some Teal fly off, others were tucked up under the reeds and overhanging branches. Anyhow, after a considerable time searching and waiting the Green-winged Teal was not located. May be it will turn up another day, or has it left the area?
