American Horned Lark, Staines Reservoir

American Horned Lark of nominate form ( alpestris, praticola, hoyti) was found at Staines Reservoir on the 24th. A short trip around the M25 this morning was felt warranteed. Parking up in Stanwell Moor Road, it's a short walk up the ramp to the causeway. Joining the birders already present it wasn't long before the bird was located.

A really smart looking bird, hopefully the split will come sometime in the near future. But even if it doesn't it was still well worth the trip.
