18th March..... Tring Reservoirs.

Monday afternoon; with a break in the clouds my wife and I made our way over to Wilstone Reservoir, but drove through heavy rain on the way; to be greeted by the sun on arrival. A good variety of water birds were seen including, gadwall, teal, pochard, wigeon, mallard, tufted duck. coot, moorhen, heron, cormorant, canada and greylag goose and great crested grebe.

 Black headed and lesser black backed gull with pied wagtail and wren busy on the water’s edge.

Carried on to Tringford Reservoir passing ewes with their young lambs.

At Tringford came across a pair of mute swans; the cob now showing the large black knob above the bill.

Clouds began building again on walk back to the car.
