Wet morning, sunny afternoon...

Hello

Birds in the rain north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir this morning (courtesy of Neil Hasdell) amounted to a Great White Egret, a Yellow-legged Gull, a Green Sandpiper, four Pintail and a Grey Wagtail with plenty of migrant hirundines skimming over the water.

The gull roost off the Sailing Club this evening included twelve Yellow-legged Gulls and an adult Caspian Gull.

I completed the last bit of the WeBS count at Ditchford Pits this afternoon in pleasant conditions. There was little of note, the best birds being two juvenile Common Terns, two Kingfishers, two Water Rails, a couple of Cetti's Warblers and singles of Siskin and Grey Wagtail.

Regards
