Hello
Yesterday evening a Hobby was feeding on insects around gardens in Hanging Houghton feeding well into the darkness.
A quick visit to Pitsford Reservoir this morning provided sightings of two Great White Egrets, seven Little Egrets, a Green Sandpiper and an adult Yellow-legged Gull all in the Scaldwell Bay.
Birds around the village in Hanging Houghton today included Raven, Spotted Flycatcher and Little Owl with a Barn Owl in the Brampton Valley between the village and Cottesbrooke. A male Common Redstart was at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this morning.
At Stanford Reservoir the Garganey was still present today with ten Black-tailed Godwits this evening, plus two Common Sandpipers, two Hobbies and a Kingfisher.
Two Grey Wagtails and a Kingfisher were at Welford Reservoir this evening and a pair of Grey Partridge were between Welford and Naseby villages.
Regards
Neil M
