Cotesbach Landfill; Today proved to be a very good day here. This morning I found a Wood Sandpiper and it was still present in the evening. The other usual birds, Shelduck, Red Kite, etc, were also present, including a single Male Yellow Wagtail.
Distance strong sun and heat simmer made photography almost impossible, but I tried.
In the evening Carl checked and spotted a female Garganey, my first site record. I did spot a female duck this morning too that I thought may have been one, but only had distant views with binoculars, when I returned with my scope it was out of sight. So, it was good it was still there to be identified. Also, this evening 3 Ringed Plover were present.
During the afternoon, at another location, I found my 'first of the year' singing Spotted Flycatcher, at a usual site so I am hopeful it will breed.
Stanford reservoir; a short walk here, very quite today, nice flowers though.
