4th April - sunny spells, light NW, breezier later W, 14C

Two Canada Geese were on the pond behind the cottages this early morning, they flew off towards Newnham paddox.

The first Swallow of the year for the village put in a brief appearance, calling and singing as it did a fly-over at 0900h, it will be back.

Late evening a Fieldfare was heard but not seen.

At Stanford reservoir there was c100 Sand Martins and a couple of Swallow.  The long-tailed Duck and 3 Shelduck, the pair and a single bird some distance from them.  3 Wigeon remain, but I did not see any Goldeneye this time, maybe they have gone on their return migration.  Little Egret numbered 4 near the inlet, with a few Grey Heron too.
