Hello
The juvenile Sabine's Gull at Daventry Country Park stayed for another day today and attracted quite a number of admirers including county photographers Dave Jackson and Robin Gossage. Please see their images below... Other birds included a Ruff and 2 Green Sandpipers.
At nearby Borough Hill Country Park there was an adult male Redstart and 3 Spotted Flycatchers in bushes on the adjacent golf course and other birds on-site included a female Redstart, a Whinchat, a female Peregrine and Blackcaps and Whitethroats.
Jacob Spinks conducted some visible migration counting at Pitsford Reservoir today, with a Grey Plover over north, plus at least 84 Meadow Pipits south by 11.30am, 3 Grey Wagtails, 2 Yellow Wagtails, a Mistle Thrush and a Siskin.
Cathy Ryden watched the Grey Phalarope again at Hollowell Reservoir today and there were 4 Turnstones there for a while before flying off south. There were 3 Green Sandpipers at Ravensthorpe Reservoir and 2 Ravens were noted flying over Wootton Hall, Northampton.
The Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton held large numbers of migrant Meadow Pipits this afternoon plus a Wheatear and 2 Golden Plovers.
Regards
