Hello
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today included a male Common Redstart in a field hedge parallel to the boundary fence in the Scaldwell Bay in line with the Sand Martin nesting bank, a drake Red-crested Pochard, three Yellow-legged Gulls and two Great White Egrets (the latter in the Walgrave Bay).
A male Common Redstart remains in the bushes between the Chipping Compound and Bunker One at Harrington Airfield and a few Marbled Whites were still active. A family party of Grey Partridges were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton near to 'shrike hedge' and birds in the village included a Raven and Spotted Flycatchers. Two family parties of Spotted Flycatchers had joined forces in the regular hedgeline at Lamport Hall, amounting to about ten birds.
A Marsh Harrier and a Great White Egret were at Summer Leys LNR today and Clifford Hill Pits hosted a Goldeneye, a Barnacle Goose, four Oystercatchers and twenty-seven Common Terns. Over at Thrapston Pits there were two Common Sandpipers and a Green Sandpiper noted on the Titchmarsh reserve.
The long-staying Garganey was at Stanford Reservoir today plus a Dunlin, four Common Sandpipers, a Kingfisher and a probable Common Redstart seen very briefly.
Regards
