Gareth I submitted report on Birdguides. I don't do much birding down there so not sure if Quail is regular? Never hear them around Stratford.

Yeah, definitely worth reporting. A good record. I was just filling in the gap as in your previous post you didn't say what species it was! :t:

15/8/12 Shustoke Reservoir during heavy rain at 15:18, 20 Commic Terns dropped in feeding on the NW side, they were not local Tame Valley birds because there were a number of juv birds with them (Tern breeding failed in the Tame valley). I picked out a number of Common Tern and was trying to sort out the Arctics during heavy rain, however they all moved off at 15:28 heading West.

Ladywalk, 02/09/2012

Visited Ladywalk for the first time this afternoon, and whilst coming out of the Rudd Hide found an adult male Redstart in scrub on the opposite side of the river there. Also 2 Goosander flew over. The amount of Himalayan Balsam on the reserve is quite alarming.

2 male ruddy ducks on broomycroft pool KWP, this morning. Long time since i have seen one of theese birds. I had thought they might have been shot to extinction in theese parts.
