29th March - cloudy, light SW, 13C

A couple of Redwing flew  off the old railway track early morning.  Early afternoon a small flock of Jackdaws were very alarmed and flying wildly in a tight pack, I just caught sight of a falcon disappear behind the trees, presumably a Peregrine.   Late after 4 adult Mistle Thrushes were feeding in close proximity of each other on a pasture to the east, occasionally they chased each other a little, to see them together was a treat.

This evening I visited Stanford reservoir again.  I saw my first Swallows of the Spring, two were with the Sand Martin.  All the regular duck species, including the Long-tailed Duck, which is now clearly a immature male, not a immature female as originally thought.
