Garganey at Middleton Hall Lake

Garganey, Middleton Hall
Monday 19th March 2012

Highlight of today's and indeed yesterday's birding in North Warwickshire was a drake Garganey found at Middleton Hall Lake. The bird could be very elusive for long periods disappearing into the reeds lining the northern shore but showed well when it did emerge. Other birds in the near vicinity today included; Kingfisher 2, Green Sandpiper, Redshank and Curlew. Chiffchaff numbers increase daily and Cetti's warblers were in the usual areas.
