Went out in shorts this morning and quickly regretted my decision - the weather has become a lot more Autumnal over the last couple of weeks. The main thing of note was a flock of about a dozen or so Meadow Pipits, centred around the reservoir. I see them occasionally on the estate, but this is the first time that I have seen more than a couple. They are well camouflaged when feeding on the short grass or waste ground. They also have a remarkably long hind claw..

Nearby was a female Reed Bunting and at the other end of the reservoir, on the feeder pool, was one of the family of Grey Wagtails that is usually in that area.

I also spotted a Snipe flying high overhead the same area.
