Harvest time

Hello

The main lake at Stanwick Pits hosted a Wood Sandpiper for much of the day today and this afternoon there were eight Yellow-legged Gulls there too.

Two visits to Honey Hill near Cold Ashby was sufficient for Jon to find a Common Redstart this morning (a juvenile or female) with a male bird there this afternoon - in hedging on the RHS as you follow the Jurassic Way footpath by the large commemorative stone.

At Pitsford Reservoir the drake Red-crested Pochard was seen in the Scaldwell Bay again today and at least one Great White Egret remains on-site. A Wheatear was at Bunker Three at Harrington Airfield and at Scotland Wood on the Kelmarsh Estate there were two Spotted Flycatchers and a Silver-washed Fritillary.

Regards
