7th Aug - mostly cloudy, warm and muggy at times, 20C, light SW

Willey; A busy day but made a trip to Stanford reservoir during the evening.  As expected the Pied Wagtail family was nowhere to be seen today and have probably re-located to a good feeding area.  A Robin was feeding fledged young in the churchyard this morning and first thing a pair of Linnet were on the front lawn.

Stanford reservoir;  waders included 16 Black-tailed Godwits, 4 Green Sandpiper, 2 Snipe, 1 Common Sandpiper and ~100 Lapwing.   Six Shoveler and 7 Shelduck were flying about. I counted 60 Mute Swans, these seem to like the low water level.  Otherwise things were much as usual.
