Hello

The August Pitsford Reservoir WeBS count was completed today in pleasant conditions, the best of the birds being the Ruddy Shelduck, a female Red-crested Pochard x Ferruginous Duck hybrid, a Goldeneye, four Wigeon, two Green Sandpipers, six Common Sandpipers, a Dunlin and a Ringed Plover. Passage passerines included a Redstart in a field hedge near to The Pines and several Siskins. Other birds included thirteen Little Egrets, an adult Yellow-legged Gull and two Kingfishers.

Three or four Grey Wagtails were at Brixworth Sewer Works, a singing Grasshopper Warbler was at Blueberry Farm and other birds in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon included a Hobby, two Whinchats and a Wheatear.
