Stanford reservoir; an evening visit today as the weather was not good for movement until later.  Common Sandpipers had increased to 8 today and the Greenshank was still present.  There was a nice mixed foraging flock of Willow Warblers, Chiffchaff, Blue and Long-tailed Tits, Treecreeper and Goldcrest.  Its always worth searching carefully through such a flock as something unusual can be present, such as a Firecrest, maybe next time!
