January has started well at my local Patch – Staunton Harold Reservoir. Early morning on the 4th I found 4 adult Whooper Swans showing well from the dam car park and also an adult Yellow-legged Gull sat on one of the marker buoys. A good flog round the site this morning produced 2 Raven, 40 Golden Plover, 2 Yellowhammer, single Grey Wagtail, 120 Tufted Duck, 70 Wigeon, Kingfisher, Stock Dove and Great Spotted Woodpecker. Plenty of birds already in song – Great Tit, Mistle Thrush, Song Thrush, Robin. Year List so far is 63 species.
