14th Aug - mostly cloudy, light NE, 24C

Shawell Lagoons; another colour ringed LBBG, tibia ring, red/white 55.  This was first ringed on 19/06/2008 in the Netherlands. .  It has been sighted once in France and once in the Netherlands, but several times, since 2015 here in the UK, or at nearby Cotesbach landfill.

Cotesbach landfill; this afternoon the Greenshank and Green Sandpiper still. 10 Red Kites on show.

Stanford reservoir; mid afternoon views around the dam and orchard areas.  On the dam at least 18 Yellow Wagtails were busy feeding.  Two Common Sandpipers and four Grey Wagtails feeding along the water line.  Two Little Egrets were resting, but occasionally being dived-bombed by the Common Tern pair.


Five Teal and a single Pochard were in the narrows area, with a Grey Heron feeding along the reed line. 

Two Stock Doves were feeding on the dam.
