Good day at Long Valley

Yesterday was a good day at Long Valley with a few migrants and lots of variety:
 
Chinese Penduline Tit 28 (female with ring)
Citrine Wagtail (female) 1
Oriental Pratincole 2
Red-rumped Swallow 1
Little Bunting 50
Dusky Warbler 1
Kestrel 1  
Buzzard 1
Grey Starling 40
Silky Starling 30
BN Starling (nest building)
Pintail Snipe 1 (rare at LV this winter)
Fantail Snipe 15
Wood Sandpiper 50
Yellow Wagtail 60
 White Wagtail 2 (ocularis)
Richard'sPipit 5
OBP 5
Red-throated Pipit 8
Fantail Warbler 6
Waterhen 1
+ more common birds.
 
The Cirtine wagtail is quite easy to see - it has yellow cheeks and the whole face looks yellow as a result.  Even the brightest of the Yellow wagtails show dark cheeks /ear coverts.
 
If anyone is interested I can email a photo.(I cannot post it to the website - tried and failed -any ideas?)

Dear Mike,
 
I do it in this way:  
Click the 'Add feature tags/add image button'
It's the forth button on the second column from left.  When clicked, a line like
[-img]URL[-/img] was shown in the message field.  (I've add a '-' , if not the script worked)
 
Then paste the photo URL (the link) in between.  Hope this helps.  
 
Best,
Etta

Dear Mike,
Where are the watercocks usually found - are they around the pond with the painted snipes?
