Quick flying visit

I thought I would go up to Nant Moel Reservoir after work as this was going to be the only sunny day this week. So I parked up by the farm gate and walked in, there were loads of Meadow Pipits in the fields, a couple of pairs of Canada Geese but sadly no sign of any Lapwings and it seems like another site no longer used by them. Other birds seen were a single swallow low over the reservoir, these two Lesser Black Backed Gulls and a pair of Common Buzzards. Also spotted these Highland cattle and  it was nice too see these hardy livestock. Also found this Scarecrow and at first thought it was a angler sleeping. Any ideas, also thought maybe to scare Cormorants of the reservoir or maybe to scare poachers in the night and I would have ran a mile if it had it got up.
