Foxcote Reservoir (evening visit)
A very enjoyable hour or so sat in the hide at Foxcote this afternoon. Best bird was the 1st-winter KITTIWAKE in with the gull roost The gull roost also held 3 adult YELLOW-LEGGED GULLS and c280 LBBG's.
The drake RING-NECKED DUCK was also present, with Pochards as usual along the west bank. Also 474 Wigeon, 12 COMMON GOLDENEYE and a female NORTHERN PINTAIL of note amongst the ducks.
Finally the Starling roost proved predictably - but not boringly! -spectacular, with I reckon about 6,000 birds sweeping through the sky and eventually plunging into the reedbeds by the hide.
