29th Aug - sunny spells, 20C, light - mod SW

Willey; A Painted Lady was trying to warm up this morning about 0830h.


Stanford reservoir; a Greenshank and 2 Green Sandpiper were on the field pool near the inlet.   At the dam end 2 further Green Sandpiper were roosting on the spillway overflow wall, while a Common Sandpiper was feeding in the spillway.   The number of duck have increase, including Shoveler to 11,  Pochard to 6 and Tufted Duck too.  These may not be large numbers, but are a sure sign of the autumn season getting closer.
