More birding efforts at Pitsford Reservoir today provided ten Great White Egrets north of the causeway plus Pintails and three Stonechats and Small Coppers still on the wing. At the other end of the reservoir there was a Water/Rock Pipit heard calling a few times distantly in the morning near the dam plus a Pintail, a Dunlin, Siskins and four Grey Wagtails (three caught and ringed).
The Yellow-browed Warbler was tracked down again at Stanford Reservoir (still on the Leicestershire bank) and other birds included a Common Redstart caught and ringed, a Great White Egret and a Green Sandpiper. A Green Sandpiper was noted at Clifford Hill Pits, a Great White Egret was at Higham Lakes (Ditchford Pits) and a vocal Short-eared Owl flew south in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon.
A ringing session will be undertaken tomorrow (Wednesday) at Harrington Airfield when access to the bunkers and scrub between the Chippings Compound and the main track will be restricted.
