Hilfield Reservoir - 28.9.13

The 1st Winter Med Gull.

 

As I had a couple of hours to spare I popped in for a look at was around and the first bird I noted was a Rock Pipit on the dam showing well with a handful of Pied Wagtail. I then scanned through the gulls that were loafing on the water and I soon picked out a 1st Winter Mediterranean Gull. A Buzzard flew over as did a Meadow Pipit. I wandered round to the hide and as I did a Hobby took flight into a distant tree and the first Redwing of the autumn flew over. Back on the damn a Grey Wagtail was noted and a RN Parakeet flew over a singing Chiffchaff.
