Tring Reservoirs - 31.8.14

After an uneventful birthday the day before I had a couple of hours to spare so decided to pop over to Tring. The hoped for Great White Egret had departed after just 10 minutes so I concentrated on what was still present. 2 Green Sandpiper were a year tick and I counted 10 juv Black-Tailed Godwit. Also noted were Common Sandpiper, 3 juv Shelduck, 2 Greenshank, Yellow Wagtail, Hobby, 3 Red Kite and 2 LRP. Afterwards I popped into Startops End Reservoir and quickly found the juv Black Tern which was new for the year.
