Hello
Windy and cold at Harrington Airfield this morning but at least it was clear and bright! At least thirty Bramblings were on-site, mostly in the ringing ride by Bunker One and about forty Golden Plovers were on the top fields. A flock of about three hundred Linnets were feeding on a crop at Sywell today, which also attracted small numbers of Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer.
A drake Smew was found at Ravensthorpe Reservoir today where there were also two Great White Egrets and Stanwick Pits continues to host at least two Cattle Egrets and three White-fronted Geese.
Three White-fronted Geese were still at Stanford Hall today and Stanford Reservoir attracted a Caspian Gull, two Yellow-legged Gulls, two Goosanders, a Water Rail, a Cetti's Warbler, a Chiffchaff and six Bramblings.
A Great White Egret was north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir today and a Green Sandpiper was seen at Upton Country Park.
Regards
Neil M
