11 September 2016 - Hollingworth Lake
Little Grebe on the reserve, the first of the year at Hollingworth Lake, with Kingfisher in front of the hide, Stock Dove at Bib Knowl and Swallow at Peanock Farm
Fairly pleasant still and sunny conditions this morning, and on the reserve was a Little Grebe, my first of the year at the Lake. A juv cormorant sat on the edge of the stony island and the Kingfisher appeared briefly in front of the hide. Heading towards Bib Knowl, a Stock Dove was in the top field again, shimmering in the heat haze. At Peanock Farm, a Swallow perched on the wires above me for a while, singing away.
