Early afternoon.
3 goldeneye
15 g c grebe
1 little grebe
26 tufted
2 shelduck
1 pochard
2 mallard
coot
1 poacher (?)
Can't remember seeing so little at this time of year when the fishery is (supposedly) closed.
Cheers. Rick

Rick, that would be down to a Bird scarer on a boat in the middle of the reservoir...

1 To keep gulls off
2 The bailiff was very annoyed when it was shut due to blue green algae, and when a Birder etc went on and upset 2 fisherman.
Think I told you about it ?

Thanks for that Dean. Sounds like there's not much point going at the moment. Do you know if Jason will get rid of the bird scarer when he reopens? Presumably if it doesn't upset the fish and his customers don't mind he may keep it going. So it will be a birder scarer as well.
It works well. Not a gull or cormorant in sight yesterday and the few birds that were there were all together against the bank.
Cheers. Rick
