WIlley; a Red Kite visited a field of grass that was being mown to the west.

Cotesbach Landfill/sandpit; this evening the Shelduck family was present, more spread out and some of the now immature duck flying strongly.  I guess they will be moving on over the next week or so.

Four Little Grebe and 10 Tufted Duck, the latter being new in .

A5 Polls/DIRFT; a look here produced 11 Little Ringed Plovers, 22 Lapwing, 2 Greenshank, a Common Sandpiper,a Dunlin and a Snipe.
