Willey; the single male Swallow over the village late afternoon, others should turn up soon.
Cropston Reservoir; I had a look here at mid-day on the way to a meeting. I’m pleased I did as I soon discovered a Kittiwake on the water catching insects. I watched it for a while and managed some pretty distant record photos. There were 7 drake Mandarins and a female showing, otherwise Gadwall, Mallard and Tufted Duck. A Raven flew over calling. Nearby a Green Woodpecker called.
Another surprise was a male Goshawk flew out of the firs over the road and along the res edge at the house end, it was quickly pursued by Corvids and returned to the wood.
