Derbyshire birder from the nineties. Adopted Blithfield Reservoir as my patch since 2000. I very rarely stray away from Blithers for my sins.

40 + RWF's and 230+ PF Geese just over the border in Derbys next to the River Dove at Fauld this lunchtime. And a stop off on the way home from work this teatime led to no PF Geese but a minimum of 72 RWF's. (Viewing difficult so likely to be more.)
