July waders

Hello

A few birds of interest in the county today with two Black-tailed Godwits noted at Pitsford Reservoir in the Scaldwell Bay this morning and another located at Thrapston Pits. A Great White Egret and thirteen Little Egrets were also on the reserve at Pitsford. Four more Black-tailed Godwits were seen in flight at Summer Leys LNR (with one on the deck earlier) where at least one Marsh Harrier presented itself plus two Great White Egrets and a Common Snipe.

Hollowell Reservoir came good with two passage Sanderlings on the Guilsborough Point and an Osprey flew through. Stanford Reservoir hosted the Garganey, an adult Yellow-legged Gull, two Common Sandpipers, a Kingfisher and a Hobby.
