Cool and breezy but plenty of sunshine

Hello

The Great Northern Diver was seen again at Pitsford Reservoir today, again near to the Pintail Bay. North of the causeway there were three Goosanders, two Ravens and with a Woodcock in Christies Copse. Two Woodcock were again at Blueberry Farm this afternoon and four Roe Deer were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton. 

A Glossy Ibis was found at the north section of Stanwick Pits today, one of many in the UK currently. The drake Red-crested Pochard was again at Earls Barton Pits today and eight Siskins and four Redpolls were at New Sandy Lane attenuation area at Duston, Northampton.

Stanford Reservoir attracted a Yellow-legged Gull, a Dunlin, about a hundred and thirty Golden Plovers and a Chiffchaff.

A little ringing on the outskirts of Northampton yesterday provided four Lesser Redpolls, eleven Goldfinches, four Reed Buntings and a few Blue and Great Tits.
