Willey; we missed the forecasted thunderstorms and heavy rain last night, although we did get some rain very early morning. The weather being dull did not encourage too much to show, however the Greenfinch males are still singing and others are flying around hopefully with young and juvs about.
Frolesworth Manor Lake; I had 30 mins here whilst passing this morning. The Great-crested Grebe pair young have grown well and both look well, still calling for food. Five moulting Tufted Duck were resting and two broods of hungry Coot chicks were pestering their parents for food. A male Yellow Wagtail was catching insects in the grass and taking them to a nest a little way off in the adjacent wheat field. Swallow families and House Martins were flying around the building. A female Sparrowhawk flew over low with prey in its talons.
Stanford reservoir; a look here did not produce anything new today, again the weather not ideal for movement. Two Common Sandpipers still and the Greenshank. The Greenshank only has one leg and hops using a wing to balance itself.
