Birds of a cool, sunny Friday

Hello

Yesterday's new arrival in the shape of a Glossy Ibis was still at Stanwick Pits today, favouring the north section of the complex. The supporting cast included at least three Cattle Egrets, two Great White Egrets and two Stonechats.

The Great Northern Diver was seen again at Pitsford Reservoir today, again off Pintail Bay at lunchtime and a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker was visual and audible at Lings Wood this morning, showing in trees in front of Lings House at 8.15am.

Harrington Airfield this morning provided thirty Bramblings, an adult male Peregrine, two Woodcock and about a hundred Golden Plovers.

This afternoon there were five Caspian Gulls at Rushton Landfill, showing in the field at the track entrance to Storefield Farm.
