Hello
A short ringing session at Pitsford Reservoir in Christies Copse proved quiet today but provided an opportunity to properly study those birds caught. Two drake Red-crested Pochard, a first summer Yellow-legged Gull and a Hobby were all noted in the Walgrave Bay. Later a Great White Egret was on the trees stumps right next to the Bird Club hide in the Scaldwell Bay, there were at least twenty-two Little Egrets north of the causeway and a male Lesser Emperor dragonfly made a couple of passes in front of the Bird Club hide.
Harrington Airfield was pretty routine with the best bird a Grey Partridge and still plenty of butterflies (including Marbled White) and day-flying moths.
An evening visit to Ravensthorpe Reservoir provided views of an adult Yellow-legged Gull by the dam and at least two Green Sandpipers.
Elsewhere Summer Leys LNR attracted four Green Sandpipers and Stanwick Pits a Greenshank.
Regards
Neil M
