Stonechats and Golden Plovers

Hello

It appears that Stanford Reservoir was the place to be today with this site's third Yellow-browed Warbler this autumn and the second to be caught and ringed. In addition seven Whooper Swans arrived this evening and other birds included four Red-crested Pochard, a Great White Egret, three Green Sandpipers, four Pintail and a Water Rail.

A Black Tern was a good find at Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows this morning and three Stonechats were also present. Two hundred Golden Plovers were noted on The Slips at Summer Leys LNR this afternoon.

Hollowell Reservoir sported the Pink-footed Goose still and other birds seen there were a Golden Plover, two Great White Egrets, an adult Yellow-legged Gull and four Stonechats. Up to three Stonechats remain in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and at Harrington Airfield there were two female Stonechats, nine Golden Plovers and a Raven with steady movements of Redwings, Skylarks and Meadow Pipits overhead.

Regards
