7th Feb - mostly sunny, light-mod SSE, 8C

Willey; Mistle Thrush singing from the church Horse Chestnut this morning.

Cotesbach landfill; late morning Carl text to say he had a 3W Iceland Gull, I was able to see it  flew from the sandpit area back to the landfill tip, a striking bird.
Two Green Sandpipers were also seen in the sandpit area.

Stanford Reservoir; 9 Pink-footed Geese were reported on an adjacent field this morning, I didn’t make it then. This afternoon I checked the Geese around Stanford Hall, but the Pink-footed weren’t with the Canada and Greylags there.  Next checking the reservoir - they weren’t found there either.  Nothing else new on the main reservoir, at the inlet a Little Egret and Kingfisher.
