Hello
With some potential colder weather arriving at the end of the week, today was another mild, grey and damp affair.
Pitsford Reservoir today had a new flush of wildfowl with an influx of Shoveler and a few Pintail plus the usual three Great White Egrets, four Red-crested Pochards, two Yellow-legged Gulls, an adult Mediterranean Gull which roosted plus a Golden Plover, Raven and a pair of Stonechat.
A pair of Raven were at Hanging Houghton and Harrington Airfield continues to host good numbers of winter thrushes plus at least twenty-one Golden Plovers and a Grey Wagtail (ringing tomorrow restricts access to the bunkers and old airstrip).
Over at Thrapston Pits, Nick Parker located six female Common Scoters on Town Lake with a Black-tailed Godwit, two Dunlin and ca100 Golden Plovers at Stanwick Pits. The Great Northern Diver and six Pink-footed Geese were at Hollowell Reservoir again today and a Woodcock and two Bramblings were at Lamport Hall.
Regards
