22nd May - mostly sunny, very warm, 23C, light southerly

We are in for a very warm/hot spell as a high with southerly weather is moving over the UK, which is great after the rain, but the humidity may be high at times.

Stanford reservoir; I made a visit after lunch, the recent rain has raised the water a bit covering much of the mud, but we do still have a lot of shore, however wader passage is on the wane now.

All the usual birds were seen/heard, except the Cuckoo.  I watched the Hobby catching insect prey very low along the south shore for quite a while.  The 1st summer White-fronted Goose is still present and seems settled at the moment.
