31st Aug 2019
It was a fairly quiet end to the month really. Adrian had a Spotted Flycatcher on the western side of the reservoir on Thursday (29th) and this afternoon Mark had two Common Sandpipers.

27th Aug 2019: August so far
On the 2nd Colin had a Peregrine fly over and a Common Sandpiper, and one morning around that time a Yellow-legged Gull (3CY).
A Common Tern was recorded by Steve on the 10th and John had a Common Sandpiper on the 12th. Jim recorded our first Wheatear of the autumn on the 15th.
John and I checked out the gull roost on 23rd and there was a good quantity of birds, which normally happens when we have a hatch of flying ants in August. Amongst them we had an adult Common Gull and few Herring Gulls.
In the morning of 26th I had a Wheatear in the cattle field west of the reservoir, Common Sandpiper at the reservoir and at least two Yellow Wagtails flew over the U.C.V.
This morning there were two Wheatears on the western edge of the reservoir (with one still around in the evening) and at least two Yellow Wagtails in the cattle field.
