Hello
There were plenty of new Common Whitethroats in at Harrington Airfield today and other birds included a Turtle Dove 'purring' briefly, a 'reeling' Grasshopper Warbler and a male Wheatear. Tomorrow there is a ringing session planned at this site and access to the old airstrip and bunkers is restricted. Access to the footpaths and concrete track remain unaffected.
An Osprey was seen at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon and other birds included two Oystercatchers and two Swifts.
Peter Finden's efforts at Summer Leys today provided views of two Garganey, a Hobby, two Swifts and a Grasshopper Warbler. Two Mediterranean Gulls were seen in flight by Matt Hazleton flying through Summer Leys towards Mary's Lake.
Two Nightingales were singing and showing well at Thrapston Pits, again either side of the river at the metal bridge that connects Town Lake with the Titchmarsh reserve. A Swift was also present.
A Barn Owl was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this evening
Regards
