A Winter Selection: Eyebrook Reservoir: 2/1/2022

Nature diary of my first outing for 2022, documenting a trip around Eyebrook Reservoir in Rutland on a blustery winter day.

Truly a wonderful winter walk Graham. Any warm beveridge and toasty room would be joyous after that - reflecting on the birds and the vistas. Love this season so much. I fell fully into that, immersed wholly. Just wonderful. Thank you. Si.

Thanks for that Si:-)

Nice selection of species shot in difficult conditions. It didn't occur to me that Dunlin would occur so far inland. Always a treat to watch one of your films Graham. Here's to a nature-blessed 2022! 🙂

Well that’s great Graham. A really interesting selection there, especially the Goldeneye and Avocet. Great. I’ll have to keep a look out down around here, but we don’t get many of the rarer varieties on these lakes. Thanks for sharing Graham and Happy New Year to you 👍👍 Dave H

Thanks a lot Dave, Eyebrook is a good place for the odd rarity, a ring neck duck has been there for a bit but it’s always reported as distant and I couldn’t find it, thanks again and Happy New Year to you:-)
