20th April -mist/fog early, then sunny, 22C, light NW

Willey; first thing the Nuthatch was in the church Horse Chestnut making lots of noise.

Stanford reservoir; a late afternoon visit here, seemed fairly quiet. Now only a single Wigeon and female Goldeneye, 52 Tufted Duck, 5 Gadwall.  Around the reservoir were Blackcaps, Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs, 2 Sedge Warblers and 3 Lesser Whitethroats and the first Whitethroat of the year.

My first site year records for Orangetip and Green veined Whites. Plus several Small Tortoiseshell, Brimstone and Peacock. Also a Dark-edged Bee-fly.
