Hello
A cloudy, warm day where I was with attempts at light showers which quickly evaporated!
Two eclipse drake Red-crested Pochard were in the Walgrave Bay at Pitsford Reservoir this morning and a Garganey was at Stanford Reservoir plus a Yellow-legged Gull, a Common Sandpiper and a Hobby was caught and ringed (the first time this has happened at Stanford).
A Quail was seen in a field between Greens Norton and Litchborough this afternoon and a Common Redstart was seen just east of Braunston. At least two Ravens passed over Hanging Houghton this morning.
A contingent of the Northants Ringing Group arrived yesterday on the Pembrokeshire island of Skokholm and last night they caught and processed 155 Storm Petrels - and today they have been catching and ringing Puffins!
Regards
Neil M
