Reservoir Success

Following on from last weeks blog on moorland reservoirs this week we highlight one of its success stories.
The Little Ringed Plover is one of our rarest breeding birds and I have to obtain a special Permit to go anywhere near their nest. Four eggs are laid on the gravel bed of a moorland reservoir so if the water levels are high they are unable to breed. This years drought was perfect for them and they had one of their best seasons for a long time. www.facebook.com/gordonyateswildlife
