7th May - mostly sunny, 21C, light southerly

Stanford Reservoir, a walk here after lunch.

I had only just arrived when 10 Arctic Terns flew in over the dam, they were very excited and noisy, flying in to the bay then climbing high.  They came back and continued the excited behaviour before eventually leaving.  Five Common Terns were around too, including a pair displaying on a react.

A couple of Common Sandpipers were on the dam, and while watching these a Shelduck pair came in and bathed.

A Cuckoo was calling along with all the usual singing Warblers.  The red-legged Partridge pair were around the dam bank again
