Wet and breezy Saturday

Hello

Harrington Airfield first thing wasn't too wet and birds in the drizzly swirl included eight Bramblings (two over Bunker Two, six by the museum), a singing Chiffchaff and just small numbers of Golden Plovers but still with good numbers of thrushes in the bushes.

Birds visible in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir were made up of two Great White Egrets, three Pintail, five Red-crested Pochards, ten Snipe, a Green Sandpiper and an adult Yellow-legged Gull.

Birds at Hollowell Reservoir today included the Great Northern Diver again, six Pink-footed Geese, two Great White Egrets, a Caspian Gull and a Stonechat with a Great White Egret at neighbouring Ravensthorpe Reservoir.

Three Cattle Egret were in valley fields below Irthlingborough Church this morning and single Great White Egrets were reported at Stanford Reservoir and Stanwick Pits.
