Arrived at the West End at 3.00pm and could hear the Chiffallow singing the moment I stepped out of the car. Short walk down the lane and there was what looks very much like a Willow Warbler to me banging out variations of Chiffchaff and Willow, very much like the one I encountered at Pulborough a few years ago.
The rest of the birds seen there were 2 Buzzards 1 Kestrel 3 Swallows 3 Gcg and all the usual members around the feeders.
The Dam end , quite a bit of noise from the work being done on the Dam, so only 2 Pied Wagtails and nowhere to hide on the Dam now as the vegetation has been removed from the concrete. 2 Sand Martins 6 House Martins and numerous Swallows . 2 Mediterranean Gulls 2 Bh gulls 1 Herring gull 5 Buzzards 1 Red Kite 5Gcg. Sadly no sign of the earlier Firecrest. Then the wind and rain arrived , time to go.
