13th Sept - sunny am, showers pm, light- moderate SW, 15C

Willey;  a storm went through during the night from the SW, with gusty strong wind and rain, although here we got away much better than elsewhere.
~25 Swallows still around the village.  Occasional butterfly - Peacock, Red Admiral or Small Tortoiseshell - on the wing still.  In the evening a couple of Sand martins were feeding over the village with the Swallows, as dusk arrived some of the Swallows dived in to the sheds to roost.

Shawell Lagoons;  I had a look here this morning, unfortunately it was really quiet with only a few Gulls, Tufted Duck, Little Grebe and Pied Wagtail, with a flock of Canada Geese.  I then looked at the pools at nearby Sandy Lane, these were also quiet apart from a Red Kite overhead being hassled by Jackdaws.
