Hello
Birds reported in the county today were limited to just a few regular observers and Steve Fisher again saw two Cattle Egrets and two Common Sandpipers at Stanwick Pits. Just down the road at Kinewell Lake (Ringstead Pits) a drake Red-crested Pochard was also located.
Birds north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir this morning included six Little Egrets and an adult Yellow-legged Gull. A Weasel was seen briefly by the Old Scaldwell Road Feeding Station.
Also today a small team of ringers operated at Stortons Pits catching some 68 birds made up of a Chiffchaff, 20 Reed Warblers, 5 Sedge Warblers, 3 Cetti's Warblers, a Garden Warbler, 10 Blackcaps, 3 Whitethroats, a Blackbird, 3 Song Thrushes, 2 Dunnocks, 3 Robins, 3 Wrens, 3 Long-tailed Tits, 3 Great Tits, 4 Blue Tits and 3 Goldfinches.

| This adult female Sparrowhawk was today watched plucking a bird at Pitsford Reservoir which at the time I thought was a pigeon or dove. A close up of some of the scattered feathers suggest it might have been a Great Spotted Woodpecker. This plucking post is actually a Common Buzzard nest which wasn't used this year |
