Late winter birds

Hello

The Pink-footed Goose was seen again at Wicksteed Park Lakes, Barton Seagrave this morning, with the Greylag flock and at Hollowell Reservoir this morning there were two adult Caspian Gulls and five Stonechats. A pair of Goosanders and three Siskins were at Delapre Lake/Hardingstone Pits. A male Stonechat and two Oystercatchers were at Upton Country Park.

At Stanford Reservoir today the best on offer was a Great White Egret, thirteen Goosanders, an Oystercatcher and a Stonechat whilst in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton there were just two Golden Plovers in the fields this morning. Four Ravens and two Redpolls were at Lamport Hall and a ringing session at Greens Norton provided the captures of two Siskins, two Redpolls and four Reed Buntings plus another thirty plus birds of more common species.
