Hello
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today included a rather unseasonal Great White Egret in the Scaldwell Bay at about 9am and then later this afternoon, but interestingly Dave Francis saw three together in the Walgrave Bay on Sunday (30th April).
Other birds today at Pitsford included a Greenshank in the Scaldwell Bay, a couple of Common Sandpipers, three Oystercatchers and a pair of Shelduck.
The first Constant Effort ringing session took place in the Scaldwell Bay this morning and resulted in a modest capture of birds but which included two male Kingfishers.
Birds in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning included a Barn Owl, two Wheatears and a pair of Grey Partridge.
Regards
Neil M
