Hello
Eleanor popped down to Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon and scanned from the Old Scaldwell Road. The fabulous flock of eleven Whooper Swans were still present as were four Great White Egrets all on show at the same time. At least six Red-crested Pochard were visible in the Scaldwell Bay as were half a dozen Pintail.
Single Grey Wagtails were noted at Hanging Houghton and at Brackmills, Northampton and Barnes Meadow LNR hosted 10 - 11 Snipe. A number of the scuffed fields in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton are attracting large numbers of birds, the most obvious today being gulls, Skylarks and hundreds of Fieldfares. A huge passage of Starlings was again obvious today with birds arriving in big flocks from the east and flying quite slow and streaming west at low level.
Regards
Neil M
