27th Sept - cloudy, mod NW, 12C, until later afternoon cleared to sun 14C

WIlley; this morning five Swallows feeding around the BH wood and over the sheep field.

Cotesbach landfill; this morning the juv Ruff was still present in the sandpit area.

Rutland Water;  Not as many wildfowl about as I expected, but I've no numbers to compare to other years, so maybe a normal year. Only four Egyptian Geese seen.

Three Water Rails were heard and one Cetti's Warbler. On lagoon 3 a Dunlin and Ringed Plover were feeding.  A Kingfisher flew passed Lapwing hide.  On lagoon 1 eight Black-tailed Godwits flew and fed. A 'cream' crowned Marsh Harrier came over hunting.  Plenty of Great and Little Egrets were present.
