25th Jan - sunny morning cloud forming, then scattered showers pm, light-breezy SW, 7C

Some showers during the night ensuring the ground is still very wet everywhere.

Willey; a couple of Bullfinch flew over ~0900h.

Cotesbach quarry; I passed here this afternoon and had a quick look, there were many hundreds of Gulls present, resting after feeding at the landfill, only a part of the total number in the area.
A Red Kite flew over head.

Stanford reservoir, a quick look here, fairly quiet today.  a single Coal Tit, a Lesser Redpoll and a number of Tree Sparrows at the feed station area.

The Lapwing flock was still present on the adjacent fields ~500, need to count this photo yet, just part of the flock.  I've counted - there is 319 in this photo, so I think at least double this present.
