Willey; this morning there were about 20 Swallows on the wires before they scattered, about 1730h there were 30 feeding high over the village with again at least 1 House Martin. Also, this morning there were at least 2 Chiffchaffs singing and a small number of Meadow Pipits flew over the Perkins field area.
This afternoon, about. There were 7 Buzzards over the stubble fields in the Cloudsley Bush area (2 miles to the west of the village) and 2 Red Kites, all hunting over the fields. Then, 2 Hobby flew eastward along the Long Spinney edge - amazing to watch all together.
Stanford reservoir; mid-afternoon I set off to here for a stroll. The 7 Black-tailed Godwit were again present on the island, as was the single Greenshank and a Snipe among the Lapwing. New in were 2 female Pochard with a male, otherwise duck numbers were as recently seen. I did count/estimate the number of Greylag and Canada Geese at 400 and 250 respectively.
