5th May - sunny intervals, scattered showers, some wintery, light W, 8C

 Willey; at last, a Lesser Whitethroat 'rattled' in the hedge this morning near the Hurls Furlong spinney.

Cotesbach Landfill; no migrant waders today, but two Lapwing were present.

Stanford reservoir; this evening weather was slightly better than recently, which meant more Warblers were singing, Lesser Whitethroat, Whitethroats, Blackcap, Gar#den Warbler, Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler.  Also, a Grasshopper Warbler 'reeled' a little.

Four Yellow Wagtails were on the dam.  Again a large number of Swallows, House Martins and a lesser number of Sand Martins and a few Swift.

Late evening three Hobbies were hawking low over the water.
