Hello
Another warm day but the water levels remain constant and high at Pitsford Reservoir. David Arden saw a Marsh Harrier over the reserve (the third sighting in six days) at about 9.30am. Other birds on the reserve included an Oystercatcher, a Common Sandpiper. three Little Egrets and a Grey Wagtail with a pair of Spotted Flycatcher around the Fishing Lodge.
Good numbers of Marbled White butterflies were again on show in the Scaldwell Meadow near to the causeway this evening and a hairstreak sp. showed very briefly by the Fishing Lodge.
Elsewhere there was a Grey Partridge with six tiny chicks crossing the B576 at Harrington Airfield this morning and a Grey Wagtail at Brixworth Water Treatment Works.
Regards
Neil M
