Hello
This morning and the male Common Redstart was again at Harrington Airfield close to the chippings compound with a Grasshopper Warbler reeling at Bunker One.
The two now rather long-staying juvenile Black-necked Grebes were seen at Summer Leys LNR this morning and a Mandarin Duck was found at Kinewell Lake, Ringstead Pits.
A dead Barn Owl was found at Pitsford Reservoir today having been predated by something. It was a ringed bird so we will learn more of it's history but preliminary details suggested it was ringed as a nestling in 2017.
Northants Ringing Group ringers were very active today and Nick Wood performed a solo effort at Chase Park Farm, Yardley Chase where five and a half hours work provided 31 birds of 12 species made up of 2 Bullfinches, 6 Blue Tits, 3 Great Tits, 2 Common Whitethroats, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, 5 Blackcaps, 2 Garden Warblers, a Willow Warbler, 3 Chiffchaffs, 2 Blackbirds, 2 Dunnocks and a Robin.
At Linford Lakes Helen and Kenny worked the nets to capture 90 birds of 20 species, 82 of which were newly ringed. The warblers provided the most interest apart from a juvenile Marsh Tit which is a rare encounter on-site. The warblers were made up of 10 Chiffchaffs, 6 Willow Warblers, 7 Whitethroats, 13 Blackcaps, 6 Garden Warblers, 9 Reed Warblers and 2 Cetti's Warblers (one of which had already been previously ringed elsewhere).
A small team operating at Stortons Pits today processed 64 birds of 16 species, 55 of which were birds not previously encountered. Again warblers dominated with 6 Chiffchaffs, 2 Willow Warblers, 4 Whitethroats, 18 Blackcaps, 3 Garden Warblers, a Sedge Warbler, 15 Reed Warblers and 2 Cetti's Warblers - one of which was a male first ringed in 2016 and subsequently re-captured in 2018 and 2019.
