Hello
Some birders active very early this morning included Dave Jackson at Pitsford Reservoir where he saw a Great Northern Diver not far from the car park just south of the causeway, and a Merlin and a Curlew.
Eleanor was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and saw the Great Grey Shrike again (but it went absent again this afternoon), two Corn Buntings, a Brambling and a Wheatear.
Ben noted two Ravens over Lamport, Phil Jackman saw a Green Sandpiper and seven Redshank on the main lake at Stanwick and John Moon located a Black-tailed Godwit and a Great White Egret at Summer Leys NR.
Over at Thrapston Pits, Eric located all three Pink-footed Geese, three Great White Egrets, a female Goosander, plenty of Chiffchaffs and Cetti's Warblers and Peacock and Brimstone butterflies.
Gary Pullen noted a hybrid gull (Glaucous x Herring) at Daventry Reservoir this morning, these birds sometimes being called 'Nelson's Gull' or 'Viking Gull' - unfortunately the bird didn't linger.
A Jack Snipe and forty plus Snipe were north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon and there were a couple of Sand Martins buzzing about too.
Regards
Neil M
