Leeshaw Reservoir
A Curlew and two Oystercatchers are recent arrivals, whilst 18 Herring Gulls and two drake Tufted Ducks (uncommon for here) were also present.  A skein of 117 Pink-footed Geese went west.

A flock of 40 Golden Plovers flew over and two Skylarks and a single Lapwing were new arrivals.  Four Tree Sparrows were visible in the hedges around Dobrudden Farm.
