Hello

Stanford Reservoir still retained it's Black Tern today plus five Common Sandpipers and ringers there again caught a good selection of common warblers as they continue to push through on their intrepid migration. A Lesser Emperor dragonfly was a good find and other birds included a few Yellow Wagtails passing over and six Ravens.

A Cattle Egret was still on the scrape at Summer Leys LNR early this afternoon with nearby Great White Egret and Little Egret for the trio! The long-staying Whinchat was still next to the River Nene near Great Doddington sewer works this afternoon. Four Black-tailed Godwits were at Stanwick Pits this morning and an Osprey and two Greenshanks were seen at Thrapston Pits. A Hobby was noted at Abington Meadows, Northampton with two Grey Wagtails near Billing Aquadrome.

Away from the Nene Valley and there were two Common Redstarts again at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell and another and two Spotted Flycatchers at Lamport Hall early afternoon. Two more Common Redstarts were at Harrington Airfield this evening plus four Ravens and two Grey Partridges.

Two Spotted Flycatchers were at Ramsden corner reserve and birds in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir this morning included a Red-crested Pochard and two Great White Egrets.
