Hello
The Pitsford Reservoir WeBS count was completed today, the highlights being a Black-tailed Godwit, 6 Ruff, 6 Dunlin, a Little Stint, 2 Greenshanks, 2 Green Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper, 7-10 Ringed Plovers, a Snipe, a Great White Egret, 20+ Little Egrets, a Barnacle Goose, 8 Pintail, a Grey Wagtail and up to 4 White Wagtails. Visible migration included over 400 Swallows heading south.
A ringing session is planned for Harrington Airfield this coming Wednesday and the area around the bunkers and old airstrip will be out of bounds during this period. Anyone wishing to come along to observe proceedings is quite welcome providing you email me beforehand. Access to the public footpath and concrete track remains unaffected.
Regards
Neil M
