10 Swallows over the village first thing, a Red Kite seen later.
A Chiffchaff singing in the top corner spinney 0830h.
Stanford reservoir; afternoon.
The hoped for passage sea/coast birds never appeared here, despite the favourable wind, except early evening Chris Hubbard had a single Little Gull for a short time.
Six Wigeon, one Teal, two Shovelers, a Common Sandpiper, five Pochard and a good number of Gadwall.
Three Common Terns, (2 juvs).
An impressive number of Hirundines were over the water and area, mostly House Martins c600, c100 Swallows and c10 Sand martins. They were so busy feeding and speedy and widely spread, getting an accurate number was pretty much impossible. There may have been even more than this.
