Wilstone Reservoir + College Lake - 22.3.15

Another walk around Wilstone for patch year ticks saw a couple of additions. A male Yellowhammer was a sight for sore eyes up on the dry canal but a lone Egyptian Goose on the Drayton Bank was a huge relief after missing it a few times. 2 Oystercatcher and at least 6 Chiffchaff were also noted.

As I had a few minutes to spare I popped into College Lake to see what was about. I bumped into Ed Griffiths who said there was a Shelduck on the far side and so with a quick scan I picked it up and onto the list it went.
