More interesting birds locally

Hello

More interesting birds reported today include a Purple Heron photographed at about 1pm yesterday at Summer Leys LNR (an image was uploaded today on the Summer Leys Facebook page).

A pair of Grey Partridge were at Harrington Airfield this afternoon and a Lesser Whitethroat counts as an infrequent visitor to our Hanging Houghton garden this morning. A Hobby and two Cuckoos were at Stanford Reservoir today and an Osprey was over Biggin Lake, Oundle Golf Club this evening.

The lingering drake Red-crested Pochard remains in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir and this evening three Little Terns appeared just before 6pm and lingered throughout the evening, spending their time between the Old Scaldwell Road and the Bird Club hide.

A Wood Sandpiper was reported from the inlet end of Eyebrook Reservoir today.
