A Corn bunting was in a mixed flock of Reed buntings and Yellowhammers feeding in the fields going down from the main road to the reservoirs, a first for me in this area, there could have been more in the flock of around 40 birds, Dipper on river in woods and a pair of Oystercatchers in the fields to the right of the woods. thanks to Mr McKercher for confirming my sighting from my photo smile

2-15pm to 3-45 pm & quite pleasant in the sun as the tree lined lakes kept the blustery wind in check.

3 Cormorant one of which was in breeding plumage.

2 Great Crested Grebes.

A few Goldfinch with singles of Chaffinch, Bullfinch & Redwing.

About 50 Jackdaw around Kilhey Court grounds.

4 Buzzard - 2 aerial enjoying the sun & 2 in tree tops.

A walk down to the green iron bridge over the river Douglas produced a glimpse of a Dipper but it fled upstream instantly.

Finally it was really touching how tame the Blue/Great Tits & Robins were often landing right at the side of me & following me round - I can only assume they're used to being regularly fed.

18.00-20.30 (Just as the rain started)

In the meadows beside the track leading from the A5106 were 8 Linnets, 2 Yellowhammers, 1 Pied Wagtail and a family of 3 Kestrels (m+f+ juv).*

Adlington Reservoir * (* In Lancs)

3 Manderins and 4 Grey Herons (3 of which were in the marsh/reserve area and were fighting over a chunky dinner plate sized fish that looked like a bream).

Arley Reservoir

6 Great Crested Grebes and 2 Tufted Ducks.

Worthington Reservoir

3 adult Great Crested Grebes + 1 half grown youngster, 2 Cormorants and 3 Tufted Duck.

Checked the nearby River Douglas for Dippers and Grey Wagtails, without success.

When I checked the nearby Arley Brook, which previously had been a great spot for Dippers and wagtails, I found the waterlevel very low, but the biggest shock was that 3 scambler motorbikes

were being ridden along the stream bed, and throughout the surrounding woodland. Little wonder there was no wildlife to be seen.

I cannot identify what this duck is. My first thoughts were Wigeon or juvenile Mallard, can anyone help

Those are adult Mallard hybrids Nigel. You will see a lot of such hybrids in parks around Greater Manchester. Some are paler and some darker than purebred Mallards. I saw an American hybrid domesticated Mallard subspecies called Silver Appleyard Ducks in Martin Mere's captive collection this weekend. I'd never heard of them before. There's a whole world of wildfowl collecting out there and sometimes they escape causing confusion in the Birding world. Welcome to the most rewarding hobby in the World. Enjoy your birding and never let anyone tell you a bird is not worth looking at.



Hi Nigel
The birds that are in your photo are Call Ducks which were put on Worthington about 4 to 5yrs ago if not longer I think there was approx 10 dumped birds both male and female but gradually the numbers have gone down.
Not a clue about who put them there but about same time a Red Headed Smew was released but sadly that as gone as well.
I don't know why people who buy these things and then throw them out onto a lake and think that they can look after themselves but its a strange world.

Jimmy

had a quick walk around the lakes this evening, what a sad sight the Great crested Grebe is lying dead on its nest, what made it worse is that its mate was still by its side

I had a shock today when I went to look at the Great Crested Grebe, which was nesting on eggs, was lying dead across the nest.

Need this be reported to any authority?
