Several upland reservoirs

A wander around half a dozen of our upland reservoirs yielded exactly what I thought it would at this time of the year - not much. Lower and Upper Gorple, Widdop and the Walshaws looked great in the afternoon sun with a Grey Heron, a Kestrel, 6 Fieldfare, 25 hardy Mallards, 2 Mistle Thrush and the ubiquitous, vocal Red Grouse interrupting the quiet of the day.

Think I may migrate and join Dave S and co at our more productive sites in the East.

Very impressive photo.
Watch the reservoirs for white winged gulls, a 1st year Iceland is around Cullingworth, B.O.G.
