Another evening at Stanwell and with planes landing from the
direction of London there was less aircraft noise over the lake than when they
take off towards the capital. So far as effects of the airport go, this is the
optimum operating system for this site.
We only had a couple of hours since we didn’t get set up until just before 8pm but it was a worthwhile session with 23 birds, of which one 3J Swallow (D776724) was a control. It will be interesting to see where that came from.

We also had the first Willow Warbler of the year at
Stanwell.
Juvenile Willow Warbler
Again there wasn’t a proper roost since the Hobby was still
around, with the added presence of a Sparrowhawk.
