There have been some unusual sightings at Thornton Reservoir recently. April is always a good time for migrants, but no one expected the above monkey sp.
A whinchat below was a treat.
It was found feeding in the pony fields at the Stanton inflow. It is several years since I recorded this species locally.
A smart male Redstart was in the hedges on the eastern side of the res. above Stony bank.
Redstart seem to have become more regular over recent years.
A Mink in the top end inflow stream is perhaps a less welcome visitor. Water Voles could always be seen at both inflows, but sadly are long gone. No doubt that this little chap played a part.
My fourth Wheatear of the Spring.
