The cool wind from the northerly quarter continues, there was more migration going on.
At Stanford reservoir 4+ White Wagtails were with the Pied and 4 Yellow Wagtails feeding. The Long-tailed Duck was still present, and the Mallard with her brood. MoreBlack-headed Gulls were present today than recently. Six Lapwing are around the reservoir while Little ringed Plover are still passing through. A Single Redshank and unusually a Whimbrel dropped in and spent a while feeding.
The usual early Warblers were singing and I heard my first Lesser Whitethroat sing twice. A good number of Sand Martins were feeding, with a lesser number of Swallows. So, even though the wind is against them, migrants are coming through slowly.
At the village the Mistle Thrushes were again very aggressively chasing the Magpies away from their nest area, clearly the Magpies are persisting in trying to raid the nest.
