18th July - mostly sunny, 25C, light SE, ecoming fresher and cloudier late afternoon

Stanford reservoir; a meeting with the warden gave me the chance to have a look here again.  Today 2 Black-tailed Godwits were present, along with 2 Dunlin, 3 Little-ringed Plovers, the Greenshank and 2 Common Sandpipers.  A Hobby was overhead for a while before moving off.  Otherwise things were much as normal.  A Painted Lady butterfly was flying, my first this year.




Willey; during grass cutting and tedding during the last couple of days a Kestrel and 2 Buzzard have been seen hunting over the field west of the village.  This evening a Frog was in the cut grass close to the field pond.
