    17th September 2024 – Cheddar Reservoir

    I had a very brief stop at Cheddar Reservoir last week and hadn’t considered adding a blog; that is until today when it hasn’t stopped raining all day.

    The reservoir was very low – due, I gather, to algae growing on a feeder river

    There were a couple of black swans at the reservoir and they were quite aggressive to the mute swans

    The grey wagtail came closer than all the other birds

    Little stint was the best of the birds for me

    I’m sure there was a lot more to see but, as much as I would have loved to linger in the warm sunshine, I had a tight deadline to meet.
