Interesting birds in every direction

Hello

The Dartford Warbler was again on show at Duston Mill today and the Pink-footed Goose was seen at Ravensthorpe Reservoir late morning. At Hollowell Reservoir there were two adult Caspian Gulls early this afternoon plus an adult Yellow-legged Gull and four Stonechats.

Birds at Harrington Airfield this afternoon included at least fifty Bramblings, two Woodcock and a Barn Owl and the male Ruff remained at Summer Leys LNR. There was a gathering of eighty-eight Goldeneye near to the Maytrees Hide at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon, many of them displaying noisily.

A Caspian Gull was at Rushton Landfill this afternoon, the three White-fronted Geese were at Stanford Hall and a Great White Egret and a Goosander were at Stanford Reservoir.

Notable birds found wintering in the UK now includes an American Robin at Eastbourne and I went west today to see the long-staying juvenile Pacific Diver in Glamorgan which showed nicely (eventually)!
