7th Sept - sunny spells, light S, 20C, thunderstorm/steady rain mid-afternoon.

Willey.

I found two Whinchats this morning on the Hurls Furlong hedge, pretty active.  A Lesser Whitethroat too.  20 Yellow Wagtails with the cattle.

Eleven Swallows on the telegraph wires at Parsons Close, a Willow Warbler in the hedgerow.

I popped in the afternoon and found a female/1W Redstart where the Whinchats were.  The Whinchats had moved to the far side of the field and feeding actively.

Stanford reservoir; evening.

A good number of House and Sand martins feeding overhead, and a few Swallows.

Four Common Sandpipers and two Green Sandpipers on the mud at the overflow.

!7 Little grebes together.,
