11th Aug - sunny spells, cloudy pm, 18C, light-breezy SW

Willey; a couple of Coal Tits were noisy in the church Yew tree this morning.  Otherwise a fairly quite day.

Stanford reservoir; a short visit this afternoon was made.  The number of Teal had increasesd to 12 and more Gadwall were seen, 13, still only a few Shoveler still (4) and no Wigeon have arrived for the winter yet.  A Greenshank stood knee deep of the point and a single Black-tailed Godwit was along the south shore, while 4 Common Sandpipers were spotted around the reservoir, possibly more but the vegetation is a good hiding place for them.

Six Swifts were overhead with House and Sand Martins. A Red Kite flew over the adjacent field to the SW.
