We drive nearby a lot but have never ventured on the the reserve until last Saturday, it was lovely and quiet, with great views of the lake from the viewing screen, there was even a bench, which was a bonus!
As regards birding, there wasn't a lot but there were a couple of stars:
Black-tailed Godwit (and a Teal!)
Other than those a Sparrowhawk flew through, a Buzzard circled in the distance, the there were the Mallard, Mute Swan, Grey Heron and a couple of Moorhen. A bird was singing (kind of of!) in the trees but we couldn't find it and we are useless with bird song, you think after all these years we would have it sorted!
As we left a Rook was having a go at a Kestrel.
This is only 15 minutes or so from our house, so when we don't have a lot of time, it's the perfect place to visit.
