Hello
This morning was spent at Pitsford Reservoir, initially in the Walgrave Bay where some bird ringing in a new ride at Christies Copse caught a very modest number of birds which included two Treecreepers, two Chiffchaffs, a Blackcap and a Garden Warbler.
A second calendar year Marsh Harrier showed briefly at 8.50am (presumably the same bird seen several times during the last couple of weeks) and an Osprey flew low over the bay at 8.10am but wasn't seen again. Other birds of note included three Ravens and an adult Yellow-legged Gull.
At Welford Reservoir this afternoon, an Osprey was flying away from the reservoir carrying a fish at 4.30pm and other birds noted included six Little Egrets, two Common Sandpipers and two Ravens.
Regards
