Nice one fella, stunning pics. I turned up at this place a few Sundays ago but the reservoir was heaving with bird spotters so I didn't feel comfortable throwing a leg over the fence, however it did lead to an amusing confrontation with one of them:

Twitcher: 'Is that your car parked there?'
Me: 'Yep'
Twitcher: 'Well you can't park it there, you need to move it!'
Me: 'Why?'
Twitcher: 'Beacuse my mate parks there, he will be along soon'
Me: 'Are you a traffic warden or the police?'
Twitcher: 'No, why?'
Me: 'Do you see that in date tax disc mate?'
Twitcher: 'Yes'
Me: 'good lad, it means I can park where I want, so do one'

Sounds as though you strayed into a school playground by mistake!

Our access was in full site of said twitchers and their binoculars, so we were just brazen!
We did speak to one buxom twitcher on the way out, but she was quite flirty
Thanks for all of the positive comments guys and gals!

Yea those damn twitchers we bumped into one, she didn't seem happy when I said the only wildlife I had seen on our trip was the arse end of a pheasant

I was once told by an indignant car driver,
"you can't park your motorbike there, it's taking the space of a whole car"!
