Farmoor Reservoir : update

Fairly quiet over the last week with a Marsh Harrier and a Great White Egret being the highlights. Three Owl species seen in this period ( Barn, Little and Tawny ). The Great Northern Diver and the female Scaup still showing well. Other wildfowl seen included Goosander, Wigeon, Pochard and a very high count of 225+ Teal which spent a few minutes on F2 before flying West. Three Stonechat, fifty plus Linnets seen on Lock Meadow and 25+ Siskin on Pinkhill Reserve were good counts.
