4th April - mostly cloudy, showers late pm, 12C max, light - fresh S/SW

A fairly quite day in terms of new sightings, about 1630h ~20 Goldfinch circled over the village and settled in nearby tree tops.

I made a quick stop at the local reservoir this afternoon, 2 Kingfishers were in their favourite area, one chasing the other before disappearing from view.  Two Goosanders (a male and female) were present, also 14 Goldeneye were counted, otherwise little else new was on the water, although there does seem more Great-crested Grebes than last year, hopefully some will nest.  8 Swallows, 2 House Martins and a Sand Martin were feeding, several Chiffchaffs were about.
