Hello
Stanford Reservoir continued to host a drake Red-crested Pochard today plus three Goosanders, a Barn Owl and a Cetti's Warbler.
A Siberian Chiffchaff was still lingering at Billing Pits/Ecton SF by bridge 'K121' and a Green Sandpiper was there too. Two Caspian Gulls were at Hollowell Reservoir today and other birds included a Jack Snipe, six Common Snipe, about a hundred Redwings, a Lesser Redpoll and three new-in Stonechats.
Approximately eighty Common Snipe were at Pitsford Reservoir today where there was also a Jack Snipe, a Raven and a female Stonechat. Two Chiffchaffs were at Stortons Pits.
In the north of the county the pair of Smew remained at Blatherwycke Lake and a pair of Egyptian Geese were in fields behind the lake. A Great White Egret was at Wicksteed Park this morning.
The long-staying female Ring-necked Duck and female Scaup were still at Ravensthorpe Reservoir again today and near the causeway.
Migrant Redwings and Fieldfares were generally conspicuous today with flocks over-flying and dropping in at a variety of sites and the spillage of grain near the village of Old has attracted up to seventy Yellowhammers during the last couple of days.
Regards
