Warland Reservoir

Took a walk up to Warland res this afternoon to complete 1 of my last 3 Bird Atlas square visits. Not a bad day for a walk but there were very few birds about - I've never been so glad to see a Meadow Pipit!

As I got to the end of Warland res, where it almost joins Lighthazzles res, there were dozens of bags there -

This must be the repository for the loads of heather shoots that are planned to be dropped on the moors from helicopters in the hope that they will take root and protect the eroding peat, so it continues to hold cardon rather than release it.

Here's hoping it works then.
