Today we visited the Cotswold Waterpark on a fine September morning.
First sighting of the day was the blue flash of a Kingfisher as it flew away up the Thames a good start.
On our first lake we found Tufted duck, Great Crested Grebe and a couple of Red Crested Pochard along with a single Cormorant.
Moving on several small birds could be heard it the bushes which turned out to be Blue. Great and Long tailed tits, also a single Chiffchaff.
Walking on we saw a Hobby fly over along with a Buzzard and several black headed gulls.
The bird of the day today was definitely the Robins singing from every area we visited.
Another Kingfisher was seen flying around the lake which had a few Wigeon and teal on a sign that winter is on the way.
Both Grey heron and Little Egret seen feeding around the edge of the lake along with several Gadwall and Mallard.
Latter in the day a Cattle Egret was found amongst the local cattle picking off the many flies that landed on the cattles faces.
With winter on its way we should start to see lots more wildfowl returning to the park.
A pleasant morning in the autumn sunshine.DT
