Kings Langley + Wilstone - 15.7.11

I started the morning at my sons school for his sports day. He managed 3rd in his sprint, egg and spoon race and relay and was happy with that! Bird wise while waiting for his races a Sparrowhawk with prey flew over aswell as 3 Red Kites.

Afterwards I visited Wilstone Reservoir for a bit. There had been up to 14 Little Egrets reported but I could only find 4. An Oystercatcher, Redshank and my first Green Sandpiper of the year were seen from the hide and an early sign of Autumn with 9 Wigeon present.
