Hello
The Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton hosted two Whinchats and a Redstart this morning.
At Pitsford Reservoir there were three Tree Pipits with singles flying south at 6.20am and 6.55am and then a third one lingering for a short time before disappearing. Other birds noted on-site north of the causeway included two Yellow-legged Gulls and singles of Green Sandpiper and Common Sandpiper.
A Common Tern nestling was ringed at Pitsford Reservoir on 30th June 2010 and this bird was spotted at Manton Bay, Rutland Water on 4th August 2017 where an eagle-eyed observer read the details on the metal ring in the field (using a telescope I assume).
Regards
