I'll be working again this Sunday, hopefully for the last time, as I start a new job within the libraries next week.

If anyone visits the Grane reservoirs this weekend, could they post their sightings here, please?

Hope to see everyone on Monday.

Best regards

Jim

Hi Jim,
Popped up to Grane first thing this morning but the fog was so thick I couldn't see more than 30 yards!
2 Mallards, 2 Black Head Gulls and a Sparrowhawk were all I could manage but I gave it up after twenty minutes as it was so poor seeing!
Hopefully it will clear and some of the other guys may get up there!
Regards,
David.
