Early afternoon, 30+ House Sparrows in the Parsons Close area, I wonder how many we have in the village, seem to be holding numbers well.
I popped to Stanford reservoir late evening to see what was coming in to roost, not too much as it happened. A few Cormorants, gulls came then left, no doubt for Draycote, and no Starlings seen this evening.
However, a Hobby called from trees behind me, two Blackbirds were very agrevaged calling loudly in a thick Ivy clad tree making me think the was probably a hidden Tawny Owl. A Kingfisher flew along the reservoir, both Grey and Pied Wagtails were on the overflow weir. A Green Woodpecker called, a Goldfinch over flew and two Grey Heron were stalking around the waters edge.
The male Goldeneye was among the Tufted Duck and one Gadwall was spotted at the inlet end.
