19th Dec - mostly cloudy, very light SW, 3C slowly rising during the day to 5C

Stanford Reservoir; a look here during the afternoon, a bit more activity than my last visit.  At least 8 Goldeneye were present plus Pochard, Shoveler, Wigeon, Teal and other Common Duck. A Few Fieldfare were around, plus Bullfinch and Long-tailed Tits.  A Sparrowhawk shot along the waterside trees on the hunt. A single Little Grebe was on the inlet pool with several Moorhen.
