Hello
Birds today at Hanging Houghton included a pair of vocal Raven and a Grey Wagtail.
Eric's patrol of Thrapston Pits today yielded just a single Velvet Scoter on Town Lake, a Great White Egret and a Kingfisher plus the usual throng of winter wildfowl, thrushes and raptors.
Birds specifically in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir as seen by Jacob amounted to the eleven Whooper Swans still, three Great White Egrets, ten Red-crested Pochard, sixteen Pintail, the adult Yellow-legged Gull, a Black-tailed Godwit, a Stonechat, a Willow Tit and a Grey Wagtail. The trees around the reservoir attract large roosts of corvids with many in the Scaldwell, Walgrave and Moulton Grange Bays and Jacob estimated Jackdaw numbers to be as many as 5000!
The gull roost at Pitsford this afternoon provided views of a first year Mediterranean Gull and a first year Yellow-legged Gull.
Regards
Neil M
