Hello
Another rather quiet day in the county today, perhaps partly because of a superb find of an American Common Nighthawk in Oxfordshire which may have distracted local birders!
A male Merlin was at Harrington Airfield this evening where there were also thirty Golden Plovers (and a male Peregrine there yesterday).
Two Yellow-legged Gulls were seen at the Titchmarsh Reserve at Thrapston Pits today and a Yellow-legged Gull and a Pintail were at Mary's Lake, Earls Barton with a Dunlin on the Summer Leys LNR. Four Cattle Egrets were on the Roadside Pit at Stanwick Pits this morning with two Ringed Plovers near to the visitor centre.
Six Stonechats were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton at 'shrike hedge' this morning as were singles of Whinchat and Wheatear with two Golden Plovers over.
Regards
Neil M
