| 29th, September 2006 Argal Reservoir was pretty quiet this afternoon, partly due to a huge thunderstorm but I hid in the hide at the far end of the reservoir from the dam and all was well. Interestng birds of note included a Grey heron and a couple of Cormorants from the hide and at least 6 chiffchaffs calling from bracken on the northern slope.

| 24th, September 2006 Stithians Reservoir was a must this weekend while I still had use of a car and after a lovely meal at the Golden Lion Pub (near the Northern Causeway) I proceeded to the Southern Causeway where the WILSON'S PHALAROPE was showing distantly, but not hiding at least! Also reported were 2 little stints and 3 pectoral sandpipers which I didn't have time to look for. |
