Willey; about 0900h a Red Kite spent some time overhead before moving off.
We have seen a Red-legged Partridge several times fly on to the garden wall then in to the 'wild area', possibly it has a nest here? Late afternoon a couple of Swift flew over eastward.
Stanford reservoir; a look here in the evening, the weather was pretty dull and breezy so I was not expecting too much activity. 50+ Swift were very actively feeding over the reservoir, with a few House Martins present too. 3 Gadwall drakes were seen, about 20 Mallard were about with 2 females with ducklings. Only 2 Common tern, but they were undertaking display flights so maybe they will nest on a new raft. Garden Warbler and Blackcap were singing, also Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff, one Willow Warbler was carrying food.
