23rd Aug - mostly cloudy, very light variable breeze, 22C

Willey; 0815h, a male Redstart on the top fence line.

At 1900h, per chance I caught sight of the Black Redstart rapidly flying to to it's roosting shed.  I'll have to stake it out, but it disappears so quickly.  Nor can I find it around the village during the day, its now very elusive.

Lilbourne Meadows; morning

Still quiet here, on the island pond a Grey Heron, single Teal and a Dunlin.  Two Meadow Pipits on the island.

A female Blackcap in the corner hedge with Tits.

Shawell Sandpit/Landfill; afternoon.

Mostly all the regulars, including the female Ferruginous Duck.

Only one Pochard, but Teal and Shoveler are very slowly increasing, with five each now.

Very challenging to get decent photos/video due to distance, light and water reflection, but here's a few video clips.
