Tuesday 14 May 2019

The weather has improved, sunshine and blue skies but the movement of waders, terns etc has slowed down considerably.
Over the last few days visits to Pitsford has produced Common Sandpiper, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Oystercatcher, Common Terns and a long distant view of the 2 Common Scotors which made a brief stay.
Harrington Airfield has been equally as quiet with Turtle Dove, Grasshopper Warbler, Northern Wheatear, Peregrine and Grey Partridge being the only birds of note.
Today I visited Sywell , but again all seemed quiet.  A Cettis Warbler was in full song and the tern raft busy with squabbling Common Terns and a Cormorant sitting in the middle of them !!
Not much to report from the valley below Hanging Houghton apart from Barn Owl, Grasshopper Warbler and Northern Wheatear.

Eric has been keeping an eye on Titchmarsh where the usual birds are still present. Great White Egret, Hobby, Peregrine, Cuckoo and plenty of warblers.

Regards Eleanor
