26th May - cloud/mist clearing by mid-day, then sunny, 22C, breezy NE

Cotesbach Landfill; this morning there was a small passage of Dunlin and Ringed Plover through the pools, Carl reported several before I got there.  3 Shelduck were present, a Red Kite and Buzzard too.

Theddingworth, I had a look at a site after lunch that can have Grass Snake when sunny and warm soaking up the rays, not today though.

Stanford Reservoir; a walk here produced the usual birds, nothing new in.  7 Common Terns were present, due to the strong breeze instead of sitting on the raft sides they were sitting on the top tower railing.  Several common butterflies, including this Red Admiral, were on the wing.
