A Slavonian Grebe, a Wood Sandpiper and hares!

Hello

Another warm day but without the heat of the previous week was still a pleasant day's weather.

A Slavonian Grebe was an excellent summer find on Town Lake at Thrapston Pits and was still present this evening. It looks likely that the Summer Leys Purple Heron has moved on to Bedfordshire, with a  similarly aged bird being found at Coronation Pit today.

A Wood Sandpiper was a good find at Main Lake, Stanwick Pits at about 5.30am this morning and birds at Stanford Reservoir included a Cuckoo, a Shelduck, a Common Gull, an Oystercatcher and three Cetti's Warblers.

Five Yellow-legged Gulls were present at Pitsford Reservoir this evening and a Barn Owl and a gathering of fourteen Brown Hares were at Lamport Hall this evening.

A pair of Grey Partridge and several Marbled White butterflies were at Harrington Airfield this afternoon.
