Hello
Yesterday (Thursday) a Whinchat was at shrike hedge in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and a Common Redstart lingered in the usual hedge at Lamport Hall. Three Grey Wagtails visited our rooftop and that of our neighbour at Hanging Houghton.
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir included a Peregrine, three Great White Egrets, a Garganey and two Pintails.
Today (Friday) provided six Golden Plovers for Harrington Airfield plus three Stonechats, a Whinchat, a Snipe and a Great White Egret at Hollowell Reservoir. Daventry Country Park produced two Great White Egrets, a Greenshank, two Green Sandpipers and two Pintails.
The now rare Willow Tit still persists at Stanford Reservoir with one or two birds in residence and there was a Great White Egret there today too.
A ringing session took place at Woodford Halse today and yielded eighty-four birds of fifteen species which included four Chiffchaffs, five Blackcaps, three Meadow Pipits, three Goldfinches, a Marsh Tit and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

The Willow Tit at Stanford Res has only been on the Leicestershire side. Bob Bullock
