Bough Beech Reservoir 23/08/2016

A friend told me of Bough Beech Reservoir, and thus today I directed my steps accordingly. Now, let me add here that I am still not that experienced in birding, and my weak spot is certainly waders. Therefore, my sightings from this site are solely what other birders told me about, or showed me. I visited the Visitor Centre first, and then went into the hide. From this, I saw a family of Reed Warblers in the scrub just along the bank of the pond from the hide. Moving on, I drove the car round, and parked on the causeway. This is by far the best spot to bird from. There were, as usual, several birders there, and these pointed out to me a couple of waders, including Greenshank and Common Sandpiper. I did not have a very good look at these, as my binoculars are quite poor, but apart from those, there was not an awful lot around the place.
