Stanford reservoir; the main event was the discovery this morning, by Chris Hubbard, of a Golden Oriole calling and singing a little in an adjacent wood very near the main reed bed, in Leicestershire. I could hear it well and sometimes tantalizing close to the wood edge, but never got a glimpse of it. Never-the-less a good bird to hear and have on passage.
On the dam was a Common Sandpiper and two Oystercatchers flew over westward calling.
Warks Turtle Dove site; I visited a place I have watched Turtle Doves over the last few years, alas none were seen today. There was some disturbance today, and some habitat changes to hedges and thickets, but will try again in a few days.
