Had a good look around for new flowers on the course, but wasn't able to find any today. Three more new birds to add to the list though - all from around the reservoir.
Gadwall are quite handsome ducks - about the same size as a Mallard and usually found in pairs or small family groups. This pair were on the reservoir this morning before being harassed into leaving by a typically pugnacious Coot.

I don't see many waders around the course. This Common Sandpiper was also on the reservoir first thing.

Nearby was a Willow Warbler. They are very difficult to distinguish from a Chiffchaff until they sing. This one gave a quick phrase to allow confirmation of the identification.
