Staines Res and Moor - 21st March 2018

A visit to see what Spring migrants might be about, ended up the answer of none! Well, none that I saw saw. The reservoir still held the American Horned Lark and the two Black-necked Grebes, and a Water Pipit flew off from the grass by the first water tower as I walked by.

A visit afterwards to Staines Moor, again failed to produce any summer migrants, but two Water Pipits were present, one bearing one of our rings which was one of two birds ringed on 29/11, but alas not the right side of the ring to identify which one!
