Hello
A tour of Harrington Airfield this morning was in order to beat the incoming rain and at least three Common Redstarts were present. The easiest one to see was an adult male at Bunker One which was visiting the isolated elderberry bushes and plucking a couple of berries. Small numbers of common warblers were in the bushes but we didn't see much else of note.
Back at Hanging Houghton a Tree Pipit and several Yellow Wagtails made their presence known just prior to the first of the rain and Eleanor's visit to the dam at Pitsford Reservoir late morning provided a single Wheatear, a Hobby, two Grey Wagtails and two Common Sandpipers.
An Osprey and two Egyptian Geese were seen at Hollowell Reservoir this morning and there were a further two Common Redstarts and at least two Spotted Flycatchers along the Brampton Valley Way near Draughton Crossing.
Hardwater Lake at Earls Barton Pits this morning hosted a Snipe, a Ruff, three Common Sandpipers, a Green Sandpiper, two Greenshanks (one not well) and two Little Ringed Plovers.
Regards
Neil M
