Willey; John M called me to say there were about 25 Buzzards feeding on newly cultivated fields just west of the village. I bet they were after worms and any animal casualties from the cultivation of the fallow field since the autumn.
Stanford Reservoir; did a walk here this afternoon. A single female Teal was present, plus Gadwall, Mallard and Tufted Duck. Plenty of Warbler song, including a Grasshopper Warbler ‘reeling’.
A Common Sandpiper was present, and a Cuckoo calling.
An Arctic Tern dropped in, but was gone. Two Hobby fed low over the water along the north side.
The Red-legged Partridge pair are still around the dam end.
