• Saturday, April 26, 2008 - Ingbirchworth and Winscar Reservoirs
I decided on a couple of the Huddersfield Reservoirs today. Ingbirchworth and Winscar. The start was at Ingbirchworth. Looking on the dam wall I soon spotted Common Sandpiper making its way slowly arund the waters edge. Willow Warblers, the first for me in the Huddersfield Area, were giving their all from the bushes. Swallows were skimming over the water. Coot, Moorhen and Great Crested Grebe were on the water. Driving around the farmland I caught sight of Linnets, Lapwings doing their wonderful tumbling displays, and Golden Plovers piping and chasing each other. Meadow Pipits on the dry stone walls and Skylarks singing on high.
Winscar Reservoir Curlews and a displaying Snipe. I then made my way in to the wooded area. Here Coal, Blue and Great Tits, Siskin and Redpolls flying overhead. Chaffinch seemed to be continually singing from the nearby trees. I didn't find the bird I had come to find and time had run out once again, homeward bound |
