5th May Tuesday - 14C, light/mod N/NNE, high light cloud, breif sunny spells later afternoon.

Stanford Reservoir; late afternoon.

Ring-necked Duck still present.  
Chris found a Black Tern first thing this morning, which has stayed all day so far.

On a Tern raft a Black-headed Gull pair maybe nesting - if so it will be the first record I know of for here.

A Common Sandpiper on the dam.

Lilbourne Meadows; evening.

On the flood pools -  Two Greenshanks, three Dunlin, a Redshank, two Ringed Plovers,  a Oystercatcher, a Grey Heron and Little Egret.   First  record of a Great-crested Grebe.  Gadwall and Shoveler pairs, single Teal drake.

Three Yellow Wagtails around.  Tufted Duck pair on island pool.
