Hello
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir north of the causeway today were made up of four Great White Egrets, two Red-crested Pochard, a Ruff, three Green Sandpipers, nine Common Snipe, a Hobby, a Yellow-legged Gull and the long-staying Common Redstart. Yesterday at one stage there were nine Ruff present (six in flight and three feeding on the mud).
Some ringing at Pitsford Reservoir today provided just a small number of birds but a couple of stars were a young Tawny Owl and a Common Buzzard both captured in mist nets.
Summer Leys LNR continued to attract up to four Black-tailed Godwits and a Wheatear today plus two Common Snipe and a Great White Egret with a Common Sandpiper on Mary's Lake. The Titchmarsh reserve at Thrapston Pits today played host to a Black Tern, a Sanderling and singles of Little Ringed Plover, Common Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper and Common Snipe with up to four Ringed Plovers.
Birds at Stanwick Pits today included a Cattle Egret, two Great White Egrets, a Ruff and two Common Sandpipers.
Two Hobbies were at Hanging Houghton today, one with prey and birds at Harrington Airfield this afternoon included at least three Common Redstarts, two Wheatears and four Whinchats.
Regards
