Willey; not much variety at the feed station this morning, 2 Nuthatch were visiting at the same. About 12 Chaffinch were along the farm track to the east.
Misterton; 2 Wigeon still on the lake, with a Little Grebe and plenty of Moorhen. Plenty of Tits, including a Coal Tit, Treecreeper and Goldcrest. 10+ Redwing were in the Yews around the church.
Cotesbach Landfill; not so many Gulls around this afternoon, a couple of Caspian still, one with a German ring spotted by Carl. 3 Red Kite were present. 11 Teal in the sandpit area.
Stanford reservoir; this morning a Marsh harrier and 2 Short-eared Owls were seen. I visited mid-afternoon until dusk hoping the Harrier would return to roost in the same area as yesterday and the Owls would be hunting. Unfortunately this did not happen and I failed to see any of these.
4 Goosander were in, plus all the usual duck. A large lock of Canada Geese flew in, followed by the usual Grey Lag Geese, no other Goose species with them though.
20+ Tree Sparrows at the feed station and , unusual these days here, a Coal Tit. Circa 2000 Starling came in to roost in the reed beds.
