8th Aug - sunny, 25C, light SW

Willey; 0705h, the Black Redstart left the roost (and a few House Sparrows), was very briefly on the rear roof, then driveway before dashing off over the houses.

Unexpectedly, I looked in the yard at 2055h, and it was on a shed door, flying up inside as if catching food from the roof area, and back to the door.  I grabbed my camera and got two rapid pictures.  It flew back in to the shed and that was it!





Eyebrook Res; afternoon.
A look here which proved interesting.  A adult and juv Sandwich Tern, plenty juv Common Terns.

A Cattle Egret was with the Cattle at the inlet area, plus plenty of Little Egrets about.

A Ruff, Black-tailed Godwit, three Dunlin, plenty Lapwings.   Two Little Ringed Plovers at the island area.  Teal numbers increased since my last visit.

A Stonechat at the inlet end.
