Birds for yesterday

Hello

A ringing session yesterday (Tuesday) at Stortons Pits by members of the Northants Ringing Group was productive with just over fifty birds being processed which included a nice selection of warblers made up of a Cetti's Warbler, six Garden Warblers, eight Reed Warblers, six Sedge Warblers, a Whitethroat, a Lesser Whitethroat and three Blackcaps. One of the Reed Warblers was first ringed there in 2016.

The Titchmarsh reserve at Thrapston Pits yesterday provided a calling Cuckoo, a Hobby, two Black Terns and a pair of Spotted Flycatchers. Single Marsh Harriers werte seen at Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows and at Summer Leys LNR and a Quail was heard calling distantly in the Brampton Valley between Brixworth and Hanging Houghton during the evening.
