Murky Sunday

Hello

A very mild, still and murky day in the county which has caused a reduction in sightings.

A Grey Wagtail and a singing Chiffchaff visited our garden at Hanging Houghton today with two Stonechats in the Brampton Valley below the village. Birds noted in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir included a Great White Egret, at least one Green Sandpiper, at least twelve Common Snipe, a Brambling and up to four Stonechats.

Two Bearded Tits were still at Stortons Pits today, hopefully they will stay in the excellent reedbed created by the local Wildlife Trust!

A little ringing at Brixworth today provided a capture of five Lesser Redpolls among more common fare.

Regards

Neil M




These birds were judged
to be adult male Lesser Redpolls.
