Hello
A walk at Harrington Airfield this morning yielded some on-going migration but it wasn't heavy with just small numbers of Redwings in the bushes and a few flighting over, a Brambling, a couple of fly-over Siskins, two Fieldfares, a few Meadow Pipits filtering over and a Golden Plover. On the deck there were still two female Stonechats and a covey of about six Grey Partridges.
Stanford Reservoir continued to host a Great White Egret, five Pintail, four Red-crested Pochard and four Green Sandpipers. Over at Hollowell Reservoir the Pink-footed Goose remained plus two Goosanders, a Green Sandpiper, an adult Yellow-legged Gull and four Stonechats with a Black-tailed Godwit and two Green Sandpipers at neighbouring Ravensthorpe Reservoir.
A Great White Egret was at Summer Leys LNR and birds visible from the dam at Pitsford Reservoir this evening included a pre-roost gathering of fifty Pied Wagtails, three Grey Wagtails, a drake Pintail, at least one Kingfisher, eight Little Egrets in the Pintail Bay, three Yellow-legged Gulls and two Common Sandpipers.
Three Stonechats remain in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton.
Some excellent images from John Draper have been added to the Scillies Oct 2022 page/tab.
