A quieter day in February

Hello 

The Glossy Ibis has remained at Islip Meadows, Thrapston today, showing on and off and delighting observers as it sometimes fed at close range.

Down the road at Stanwick Pits the flock of about thirty-one White-fronted Geese and the Bar-tailed Godwit were still present. The Earls Barton Pits complex including the nearby valley provided sightings of three Great White Egrets, three Dunlin, twelve Golden Plovers, a pair of Stonechats and a Kingfisher.

At Pitsford Reservoir today sightings included a Peregrine, two drake Pintails, an Oystercatcher and a Dunlin. Four Stonechats were in the Brampton Valley again below Hanging Houghton.

Regards

Neil M
