Hello
It was the Pitsford Reservoir WeBS count today although in truth there were not many water birds to count. The summering Marsh Harrier was present on and off most of the morning and again at 6pm this evening, regularly spending time over The Point trees and along the foreshore between the Bird Club and Maytrees Hides. Other raptors included a Peregrine and a Hobby and other birds noted included at least seven Little Egrets, a Common Sandpiper, a Snipe, two Yellow-legged Gulls and a Raven.
Two Ravens were at Hanging Houghton again today and Eric found two Great White Egrets on the Aldwincle Lake on the Titchmarsh Reserve near Thrapston.
Regards
Neil M
