Cotesbach Landfill; 14 Red Kites, two Great-Crested Grebe, 8 Greylag Geese flew in, single Oystercatcher were the most notables today.
Eyebrook reservoir; I made a visit here after lunch, fortunately the four Black Terns reported this morning were still present and showing well. There's not been many Black Terns through this Spring, so a treat to see them. There wasn't much an awful lot more around, just the expected birds.
Then a message that a drake Green-winged Teal had been reported on the opposite side to where I was and was it visible. After scanning the area I did spot it through the scope near the far shore close to a group of Canada Geese. I decided to go round and get a closer look, even though it meant the light would be terrible looking in to the sun. Good close views of the bird and a drake (Eurasian) Teal.
