Willey; a Raven flew over calling first thing. There was not too much at the feed station this morning, 2 Tree Sparrows were nice to see, a new visitor was a Moorhen.
A Kestrel was sitting on the telegraph wires along the Mere Lane.
Stanford reservoir; with the recent wetter and snowy weather the water level has been rising, now the current snow melt has taken right up so it is overflowing the outlet weir at volume. I expect this will make a change to the birds we see, especially the duck. Today, duck numbers seemed lower than recently, no Teal seen at all. Mallard, Gadwall, Shoveler, Wigeon, Goldeneye and Goosander were all present. 10 Great-crested Grebes present, numbers slowly increasing now the water is back up.
Long-tailed Tits, Treecreeper and Goldcrest were busy feeding, a single Jay flew in to the adjacent wood. A Grey Wagtail fed along the by-pass. Only a single Fieldfare seen this afternoon.
