Willey; this morning there were c20 Swallows sitting on the telegraph wires. A couple of Raven flew over low towards the sheep fields along Moors Lane.
Stanford reservoir; a late afternoon visit here was interesting as 7 roosting Black-tailed Godwits were on the island, until something made all the Lapwings go up and they did too, they then flew off. Also, on the island was a Ruff (reeve) and 3 Snipe, this did not fly up with the Lapwing. A little later 3 Ruff (2 reeves and a ruff - male) flew along the reservoir, with the one still on the island, so a total of 4 Ruff are still around the reservoir. A single Green sandpiper was on the weir again. Wigeon numbers were up a little again, to 25, with plenty of Teal, Shoveler and Gadwall still.
A Jay was flying between the trees, whilst a mixed tit and warbler flock made its away through the water side willows.
