Black-taileds!

Hello

At Pitsford Reservoir today the Little Egret count had risen to at least eighteen birds north of the causeway plus the usual Yellow-legged Gull and a Kingfisher. Good numbers of Black-tailed Skimmer dragonflies enjoyed sunning themselves on the track between the Maytrees and Bird Club hides.

A Grasshopper Warbler was again in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and Harrington Airfield today hosted four adult Grey Partridges, a Turtle Dove and a Grasshopper Warbler. Plenty of butterflies at Harrington again included good numbers of Small Heaths and several Marbled Whites.

Stanwick Pits again hosted a Garganey and two Cattle Egrets today and further along the Nene Valley Summer Leys attracted eleven Black-tailed Godwits, eight Redshanks and two Green Sandpipers.
