A day at the races, however when returning about 1530h, just outside the village a Fox dashed across the road in broad daylight.
I popped to Stanford reservoir in the early evening, the Long-taile Duck and Shelduck were present. About 10 Wigeon only remain now, c40 Teal and c15 Goldeneye still. No Little Egrets were seen, not sure where they are, have they left? Several Grey Heron were fishing though and 3 lapwing were feeding on the mud.
Several Blackcap were singing and numerous Chiffchaff. A great-spotted Woodpecker was drumming, a Treecreeper sang and a Tawny Owl called from the adjacent copse, while a jay called loudly as I disturbed it in the hedge.
