This morning I took a wander in to the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Res. The bird highlights were 1-2 Great White Egret(s), 13 Red-crested Pochard (still including the leucistic drake), 13 Pintail, a drake Goosander, 3 Black Swans, several Little Egrets, a Dunlin, 2 Redshank and a few Golden Plover. At least one Marsh Tit is regularly at the Old Scaldwell Road feeding station these days and today a Willow Tit was by the James Fisher Hide.
Eleanor flushed a Woodcock along the Brampton Valley Way, again by the Spratton crossing, and 2 Bramblings were also along the Way below Brixworth.
Good numbers of common birds were at the concrete track entrance of Harrington Airfield this morning, many of them bathing in the puddles there. Birds coming down for the seed at the same place included 8 Bramblings.
