My first visit to the reservoirs for a while was very productive. 2 Cattle Egret were on the bank and were my first in Herts since the then record breaking flock of 8 at Maple across back in 1992. Common Tern, Swallow and Willow Warbler were also noted for the first time this year. While I was stood on the jetty talking to Steve Rodwell the local gulls started calling and spiralling upwards. It was then I picked out an Osprey heading NW! According to Steve I’m the Osprey magnet!
Fterwards I popped into College Lake where from the main viewpoint I located the 2 drake Garganey asleep in front of the Octagon hide.
