Pitsford again!

Hello

Some of the birds at Pitsford Reservoir from yesterday were still present today with a Wood Sandpiper and a Little Stint just north of the causeway on the western bank between the causeway and Maytrees Hide. The Great Northern Diver was still present first thing but Adrian watched it circle up and depart to the south west this morning. Other birds at Pitsford Reservoir included five Green Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper, two Yellow-legged Gulls, two Stonechats, a Chiffchaff, a Raven and two Grey Wagtails.

Birds at Stanford Reservoir were made up of nine Red-crested Pochard, a Great White Egret, a Yellow-legged Gull, a Green Sandpiper, three Cetti's Warblers, two Siskins and a Lesser Redpoll.

A Cattle Egret and two Great White Egrets were at Stanwick Pits and this afternoon a Short-eared Owl was again at Farthingstone, this time seen flying over the Maidford road.

A Starling murmuration at Stortons Pits this afternoon amounted to between 1700 and 2000 birds.
