I started my afternoon, was now about 2pm, at Ingbirchworth Res, with a walk down along the dam wall. The first birds were Goldfinch in a nearby tree, on the water were a few Great Crested Grebes, Mallards, Canada Geese, and a few mixed up ducks. I was hoping for a few hirundie over the water, but there was nothing about. I made my way back along the dam wall, seeing a male Pied Wagtail this time, I took a few photos before moving on.
I then walked along the top path, passed the bus shelter, it was more productive down here with Goldfinch, Blue Tit, Great tit, Chaffinch, Blackbird, Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler, the latter I managed to get a few photos of.
My next stop after Ingbirchworth, is my favourite place, Langsett Res. Once again I parked in the Barns Car Park, which was quiet today, I got the gear together and headed out, target bird here was Pied Flycatcher, but alas was a no show, did see however Great Tit, Blue Tit, Mistle Thrush, Song Thrush, Nuthatch, Treecreeper and heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker. i then moved onto Low moor Lane viewpoint, hopping for some raptors, but came away with Curlew, Greylag Goose, Mallard, Red Grouse, and a pair of drumming Snipe. On the for tea and afterwards staying up on the moors, hopping for some Owls, only a calling Tawny Owl, but did see a few roding Woodcock over the Moor
