Hello
A ringing session at Christies Copse at Pitsford Reservoir this morning proved quiet with just a handful of birds finding the mist nets. Other birds on-site included a vocal Cuckoo and a fly-over Spotted Flycatcher. Odonata on show today included Broad-bodied Chasers, Blue Emperor and a single Willow Emerald Damselfly. Butterflies included Meadow Brown, Common Blue, Small Heath and there were still good numbers of Chimney Sweeper moths in the meadows.
At Stanford Reservoir there were two Cuckoos again, three Cetti's Warblers, a female Gadwall was spotted with a brood of ducklings and three Oystercatchers were present. Cuckoos were near Wicksteed Park and Mary's Lake, Earls Barton today.
A Little Ringed Plover and two Oystercatchers were at Upton Country Park.
The Purple Heron at Summer Leys LNR showed again today but with long periods of not being seen. The Bittern showed up again this afternoon too.
Regards
