Hello
Eric was again at Thrapston Pits today and saw an Osprey, two Great White Egrets and a Hobby. Eleanor popped in there this afternoon and added a juvenile Marsh Harrier and an additional Hobby.
The number of Yellow Wagtails locally has risen with the arrival of more migrants, the small flock at Hanging Houghton now up to twelve birds and with smaller numbers at Pitsford Reservoir and Harrington Airfield.
A wander at Harrington Airfield this afternoon was quiet for birds, a covey of four Grey Partridge being the best. A good hatch of Common Blue butterflies were coping well with the blustery conditions and a few Small Heaths were still on the wing too.
At Pitsford Reservoir today there were 40-50 Tree Sparrows at the Old Scaldwell Road Feeding Station and an adult Yellow-legged Gull was loafing north of the causeway.
This evening an adult Osprey was again fishing south of the causeway from 6.30pm, moving off north at 6.45pm. A Ruff and a Black Tern were also south of the causeway and the gull roost contained an adult Caspian Gull again and at least six Yellow-legged Gulls.
Regards
