Willey; this morning about 10 Swallows were over the village, Chiffchaff singing and 5 Skylark moved over north. A Grey Wagtail flew over, yesterday too, so as usual back for the winter around the village.
Stanford Reservoir; a mid-afternoon visit, the number of Wigeon have increased again, to 9 and a second drake Pochard has turned up, still c50 Shoveler, c100 Teal, plus Gadwall, Mallard and Tufted Duck. Waders included 2 Green Sandpiper on the inlet weir, a Greenshank and Black-tailed Godwit on the island. This morning Chris had 4 Ruff and a Stonechat still. About 25 Swallows flew along the water, no other hirundines seen though.
