Hello
A ringing session at Harrington Airfield today provided 104 captures of 15 species (66 new and 38 re-traps from previous sessions).
Easily the most encountered species was 55 Yellowhammers which dominated the session. Other birds were made up of a Green Woodpecker, 2 Long-tailed Tits, 15 Willow Warblers (including 8 returning breeding adults), 4 Blackbirds, a Song Thrush, 3 Dunnocks, 2 Reed Buntings, 7 Linnets, 6 Chaffinches, 3 Blackcaps, a Whitethroat, 2 Great Tits, a Greenfinch and a Robin.
Other birds noted included a pair of Grey Partridge, a 'purring' Turtle Dove and a 'reeling' Grasshopper Warbler.
Jacob again saw the Black-necked Grebe at Pitsford Reservoir today and Eric Graham has enjoyed excellent views of Hobby at Thrapston Pits both yesterday and today, potentially double figures feeding over the pits on both days. A Grasshopper Warbler was singing there yesterday.
Regards
Neil M
