Stanford reservoir; a walk here this afternoon. A few Pied Wagtails and single Meadow Pipit on the dam, a female Stonechat was nearby. Plenty of Long-tailed Tits roving, with Blue and Great Tits and Treecreeper. A Jay was heard and flew over to the Old Covert, as did a Great Spotted Woodpecker. A couple of Lesser Redpolls were feeding on seed heads in the rough area. A Song Thrush was singing well here.
A Kingfisher was heard as it flew off over the water. The water is still very brown from the recent rains, which may part explain why duck numbers are low-ish, as are Great-crested Grebe. Only three Goldeneye were spotted.
