Hello
The last few days has seen quite an influx of Lapwings and Golden Plovers in to the county, presumably due to cold weather somewhere to the north and/or east of us.
Birds in and around the garden this morning included a Grey Wagtail and a Brambling.
Pitsford Reservoir continues to host scarce birds, Nick Parker successfully connecting with the Ring-necked Duck (albeit briefly), an adult Bewick's Swan, eleven Whooper Swans, the Ruddy Shelduck, fourteen Red-crested Pochard, two Great White Egrets and a Green Sandpiper all north of the causeway.
At the other end of the reservoir one of the Great Northern Divers was fishing in the small section of water between the dam and the pontoon directly in front of the Sailing Club clubhouse. The gull roost was remarkably small with just a few hundred birds but it still contained an adult Yellow-legged Gull.
Regards
Neil M
