Hello
Pitsford Reservoir provided a surprise today with the discovery of two Great Northern Divers frequenting the south end of the reservoir, a rare multiple sighting for the county! For many observers it was possible to see both individuals at the same time and at one point they were close to each other in the vicinity of Pintail Bay.
The drake Ring-necked Duck was again in the Scaldwell Bay and further repeats today included the Ruddy Shelduck, eleven Whooper Swans, three Great White Egrets, plenty of Pintail and at least eight Red-crested Pochard and two Yellow-legged Gulls.
Our small garden attracted a male Brambling and a female Blackcap today and the Brambling flock in the Brampton Valley below the village reached eight birds.
Regards
