21st Aug - unseasonably windy. Mod-strong blustery S, 20C, mostly cloudy, short sharp showers pm.

 Stanford Reservoir; dry windy conditions causing most small birds to be in shelter and the water birds hard to find.  Eight Gadwall were noted though.  Three Common Sandpipers were on the dam. A Little Egret in shelter at the inflow.

Cotesbach Landfill; apart from c100 Black-headed Gulls the usual hordes and species were missing. A single Common Sandpiper feeding.  Most Ducks, Geese, Mute Swans and Little Grebes were tucked up sitting out the wind, except a female Teal that was busy feeding.
