16th April - strong-gusty SW, 30-40mph, 15C, but feeling much cooler, sunny periods

Stanford reservoir; afternoon.

A quick check here in case some Terns had been blown in, but no.

A Common Sandpiper was on the dam.  Most other birds were doing their best to find shelter, about from the Great-crested Grebes which seemed oblivious to the rough conditions.

Lilbourne Meadows;  evening.

A good count of 14 Yellow Wagtails, also 12 Pied Wagtails.  Redshank pair, a drake Shelduck, c20 Teal plus Mallard, Shoveler and Gadwall.   A Little Egret, and two Swallows.
