Lesser Yellowlegs

Sue and I made the trip up to Cheddar Reservoir this morning to look for the juvenile Lesser Yellowlegs that has been there for around ten days now , we went to the wrong end of the reservoir to start with so in the end we walked right around it ! but it was worth it as in the end we got superb views of it , there was also lots of wildfowl with the best being some Common Goldeneye and numerous Great Crested Grebe .
