Up the with

Great birding this morning 

Arrived at around 07:20 

As soon as parked up the van I could see loads of meadow pipits darting about around 30, this looks good.
The small valley by the parking spot had a juv willow warbler juv blue tit (scarce up here) I hears the tack of a blackcap but never saw it, 3 swallows flew south a adult grey heron flew low down east
After a good while I set off the the res 
The track held more meadow pipits and a couple of pied wags, a bird calling overhead got my attention a faint "tsst" yellow wagtail get in ! Second record , eventually it doubled back and landed in the drain. It was very flighty saw it few more times but always briefly 
Cormorant went east high up 
More meadow pipits around the dam walls along with 3 wheatears on the dam fence and 4 twite on the overflow bridge 
6 swallows went south and 2 ravens went north

A good mornings birding
