Autumn gales

Hello

Eric and Nick Parker visited Thrapston Pits today including a walk around the Titchmarsh Reserve in blowy conditions. Birds of note included a Great White Egret, a couple of Kingfishers, two Cetti's Warblers and four Spotted Flycatchers.

The Black Tern was still at Pitsford Reservoir today, visiting the gull roost in the evening. Other birds of note included four Yellow-legged Gulls and at least one Common Sandpiper. No obvious wind-blown birds as yet!

Regards

Grey Phalarope.

Sabine's Gull.

Strong and sustained westerly gales can
sometimes produce exciting sea-birds, even
in land-locked Northamptonshire!
