Hello
Yesterday (17th) saw both Eric Graham and Nick Parker at Thrapston Pits and between them they saw a Little Tern (which remained just some fifteen minutes), two Yellow-legged Gulls, two Green Sandpipers and a Common Sandpiper.
Stanwick Pits also hosted birds with Cattle Egrets coming and going between this site and nearby Ringstead Pits and Steve Fisher was in amongst it with four fly-over Spoonbills, a Greenshank, two Green Sandpipers, three Common Sandpipers and four Yellow-legged Gulls all on show. Further west along the valley and Summer Leys attracted two Ruff, a Common Sandpiper, a Green Sandpiper and a Raven.
Today (18th) and Stanwick Pits again hosted a Cattle Egret, two Common Sandpipers and a Snipe, and a Common Sandpiper was on the causeway this evening at Pitsford Reservoir. Thrapston Pits mustered two Wigeon and a Green Sandpiper today...
This afternoon Harrington Airfield harboured a Turtle Dove and two Grey Partridges and two Common Redstarts - one by Bunker One close to the ringing ride with the other in bushes west of the concrete track and near to the northern end. Marbled White butterflies are still in good numbers there.
Regards
