25th April - sunny periods, light-mod NE, 14C, feeling cool

Cotesbach Landfill/Shawell Lagoons;  This morning the three Egyptian Geese, Shelduck, 10 Shoveler, 33 Tufted Duck and only five Teals on the pools.  A coupled of both Sand Martins and House Martins, a single Swallow.  Two Skylarks flew off the adjacent works field and over.  Five Red Kites were around.  

An Oystercatcher was on a small island.

A single Cormorant and two Great-crested Grebes were on the south pool.

Stanford reservoir; the cool wind did not help finding migrants, any about were keeping their heads down and song very muted.  A Common Sandpiper and three Yellow Wagtails were on the dam.  A Goldcrest was singing in the bushes near the dam.  A couple of Goldeneye were present on the water (m+f).
