Grafham Water 14 September 2012

A blustery morning with a fresh westerly spent three hours on the dam and at the yacht club.

A single Raven which flew south-east near the dam was the highlight of the morning otherwise there were 8 Yellow-legged Gulls; 1 Oystrcatcher; c 20 Yellow Wagtails with 8 over south-east; 14 Meadow Pipits over south-east; initially c 1600 hirundines mostly House Martins with smaller numbers of Swallows (c 300) most of which departed to the south-east in small groups before 09.30 leaving c 350 over the reservoir.
