31st Aug - sunny until late afternoon, then showers/thunder, 19C, 14C in rain

Willey;  this morning only 30 Swallows on the wires, suggesting some may have left in the last couple of days.

Stanford reservoir;  late morning hris found 2 Whinchat on the field adjacent to the reservoir, so after lunch I headed off to see them.  However, after much searching I still failed to find them, however Chris managed some good digiscoped photos.

A good number of both Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs were roaming the bushes along with Tits and Goldcrest.  Whitethroat and Blackcap were also heard.  A few Swallows and Sand Martins were feeding over the water.  A single Black-tailed Godwit was present feeding near the Lapwings which were resting on the islands.  A couple of Little Egret and Grey heron were on the islands too.
