Visit to KGV Reservoir

Jimmy calls down that Neville  had just reported a Little Stint at KGV Reservoir,  having missed the one at Oare on Sunday its not long before we are pulling into the car park at the Reservoir.

We need this for a year tick but we had to work for a sight of this one.

We spent 3 hours walking the whole way around the Res seeing over 15 Common Sandpiper, 1 Green Sandpiper, lots of Pied Wagtails and many Sand Martin flying around the banks of the Reservoir also some Terns but no sign of the Stint that we needed.

We were heading back towards the cabin just before the slope to the car when 3 Birds drop onto the bank & bingo one of them is the Little Stint to give us another year tick,such a cracking looking little bird.
Neville also reported a Black Tern but we didn't need it for  tick so we never looked to hard & although we did scan around the boats it never showed.
