Stanford Reservoir; afternoon. On the dam two Common and one Green Sandpipers, along with Common Terns, and Gadwalls including juvs. A Tufted Duck family was just off shore.
A good number of Yellow Wagtails, up-to 20, but very active flitting about on the dam and adjacent Sheep field, also Grey and Pied Wagtails. A Green and Great Spotted Woodpecker were heard. Goldfinch and Linnet families were present feeding on seed heads on the dam.
Four Shoveler and a single drake Pochard were noted.
Lilbourne Meadows; evening. a new species here for me, a Water Rail, was creeping along the edge under cover, until chased by a Moorhen. Six Green Sandpipers and five Snipe were out.
