Scammoden

We took Laddie to Scammodem reservoir today. If you part in the lower car park it really is a fantastic little place to walk. From a bird point of view however, don't expect much on the water (although always look) but the trees, fields and moors around through up some treats. This place is only 10 minutes away from me by car and I truly intend to visit it as much as possible... there's no excuse when it's 10 minutes away!

So today I saw the following in or over the fields... Kestrel, Mallard, Canada Geese and Pied Wagtail. I also had some great views and listening pleasure from a new summer arrival, Willow Warbler... a bird which I have learned not to try and distinguish from a ChiffChaff until it opens it's beak!
