15th Aug- sunny periods, light westerly, warm 22C

Willey; at 0910h a Hobby flew low south behind the Parsons Close houses with the Swallows ~60, giving it a lot of attention and then flying high as they do for a Hobby.  A Green And Great-spotted Woodpecker called several times from the BH wood and Long Spinney respectively. A Nuthatch was calling loudly from the old railway track, while about 30 Starlings were feeding on the permanent pasture behind the houses.

Stanford reservoir; an afternoon look here. The Black-tailed Godwit was still,present and 2. Green Sandpipers.  The higher number of Shoveler and Teal were present and a couple of Gadwall.  More than 100 Lapwing were roosting on the flooded island areas.  A Kestrel was hunting over the rough areas and fields.
