Derwent Reservoir

 06.01.24 and a drive around the Derwent Reservoir in the search of Crossbill. A small flock were seen briefly in one of their normal spots but they were high in the trees and didn’t come down to drink which is what I was hoping for. Luckily, I did see a Red Squirrel so it’s nice to see they are still hanging on. I haven’t seen the reservoir so full in a long time, it’s right up to the hide, which meant there were lots of birds but unfortunately, they were all too far off for any decent images.
