Birds of Lamport Hall.

Hello

Birds of particular interest are a bit few and far between at the moment but Nick Parker found an adult Yellow-legged Gull on the Elinor Lake at Thrapston Pits today and there were four at Pitsford Reservoir (three by the dam and one north of the causeway).

A Wood Sandpiper was reported on the A5 pools between Lilbourne and the DIRFT3 complex early this afternoon.

At Earls Barton Pits this evening there were two Great White Egrets and a Common Sandpiper at the east end of Hardwater Lake with two Little Ringed Plovers on the Summer Leys LNR.

A ringing session at Lamport Hall this evening provided an opportunity to process seven Swifts, twenty-seven House Martins and two Swallows. Two of the House Martins were first ringed in 2018 and 2019. A Hobby made several passes, a Barn Owl was mobbed by a large gull and a Little Owl was heard calling.
