16th Aug -mostly sunny, light easterly, 20C

I visted Stanford reservoir in the evening to see if any waders were in, alas no.  Pochard numbers were up to 10, which included some immatures,. Still the single Wigeon, six Teal were mixed in with the Tufted Duck, two Grey Heron were arguing and 15 Cormorants were roosting in the willows.  There were about 40 Tree Sparrows in the feed station area and a variety of warblers were in the bushes.  An occasional Linnet flew overhead and Red Buntings were giving aiarm calls as some young were nearby.

A Muncjac was feeding under the trees near the waters edge, later another walked along the side path.  A couple of Green -veined Whites were out flying as were a few Dragonflies, probably Brown Chasers.
