11th July - sunny intervals, light showers, mod SW, 20C

Stanford Reservoir; afternoon.
On the dam - 6 Linnets, two each Goldfinch and Greenfinch.   Six Oystercatchers, three Common Sandpipers, two Shelducks (could not see the youngsters though) Gadwalls and Tufted Ducks too.

Grey and Pied Wagtails in the spillway.

A female Red-crested Pochard (found this morning by Chris Hubbard), and a Shoveler among the Tufted and Mallards.   Also, a hybrid Pintail, has quite a pale chin and throat.  Not sure what the other parent could have been!
