2nd Aug - cloudy day, light rain/ drizzle on and off until late afternoon, mild humid light SW, 22C

Not too much to report today.  There was a flock of about 40 Starling that stayed around the village area much of the day, sometimes on the houses, other times in the adjacent fields and gardens.

In the evening I had a look at Shawell lagoons, a flock of Canada and Greylag Geese were present. Few duck, a Tufted had five ducklings on the water though.  A Little Grebe also present   The gulls were spooked by a low flying Buzzard and never returned, even though there must have been a 1000 on the nearby landfill site.
