Brookie's Diary
• Friday, May 2, 2008 - Scout Dyke Reservoir
Club area reservoir visit again. Having parked the car it wasn't long before I heard the distinctive call of the Whitethroat. It's amazing how you quickly recall the songs of the returning migrants. I sat down for a few minutes to enjoy this amazing warbler to to marvel once again the wonders of migration, has it went about proclaiming it's territory for the summer months'. Nearby another summer migrant the Willow Warbler again proclaiming it's new found territory amongst the willow scrub. Swallow and sand Martin busy feeding on the wing, skimming over the water. Then a Common Sandpiper made it's self known, giving that distinctive flight, as it made its way to the dam wall. I carried on walking around the reservoir seeing Yellowhammer, Reed Bunting, Blue and Long Tailed Tits as I went. Litte Grebe joined by a few Great Crested Grebes on the reservoir water, but no quarry could be found, the elusive Lesser Whitethroat. I made my way back to the car having enjoyed the few hours I had had.
