Hello
A migrant-filled walk at Harrington Airfield today provided plenty of Meadow Pipits and Skylarks, a relatively early Brambling, a Ring Ouzel (briefly at Bunker Two), a pair of Stonechats, three over-flying Crossbills, Grey Partridges and a Common Redstart.
Nearby around 'shrike hedge' in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton there were four Stonechats today, a Whinchat, a Common Redstart and over a hundred Meadow Pipits and Clouded Yellow butterflies with Grey Partridges at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell. Six Siskins were in Hanging Houghton village.
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today included just one Spotted Redshank in the Scaldwell Bay, a Dunlin, two Ruff, a Green Sandpiper, two Ringed Plovers, a Garganey, six Great White Egrets, ten plus Pintail, three Yellow-legged Gulls and two Stonechats.
Records from Stanford Reservoir today included lingering summer migrants, at least three Redwings, two rather late Spotted Flycatchers, four Cetti's Warblers, four Green Sandpipers, a Water Rail, a Pintail and two Kingfishers
Two Cattle Egrets were at North Lake, Stanwick Pits this morning, two Stonechats were still on the Titchmarsh Reserve at Thrapston Pits and two Dunlin were noted at Ravensthorpe Reservoir.
Regards
Neil M
