15th August - mostly clody, light-mod WSW, 20C

Cotesbach Landfill; 22 Ravens this morning enjoying the wind and flying in groups.  Three Red Kites.

Shawell Sandpit; Four Shovelers, six Teals, a Green Woodpecker.  In the spinney a roving party of Tits, Chiffchaffs and Treecreeper.

Stanford reservoir; a walk here this afternoon.  a Common Sandpiper, six Yellow, 2 Grey and several Pied wagtails on the dam, as well as four Common Terns.  Nearby about 20 Swallows, one Sand Martin and three House Martins.    Along the by-pass a mixed roving Tit and Warbler flock.

On the water the female Red-crested Pochard was present still, one a drake Pochard was noted with the Tufted Duck and a single Shoveler on the dam. Six Comment Terns over the water was the maximum I saw.
