Hello
The Great Northern Diver was present off the dam at Pitsford Reservoir this morning but it had some competition with one hundred and ten Cormorants fishing near it. An adult Yellow-legged Gull was there too.
An 'asio' owl seen distantly at Harrington Airfield was unidentified but probably a dark Short-eared Owl, and a Woodcock was flushed too.
The Glossy Ibis was reported again at Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows below St Peters church and the Common Scoter was again at Kinewell Lake, Ringstead Pits. At Summer Leys LNR eight Whooper Swans flew over east early this afternoon and other birds included a Great White Egret, four Golden Plovers and several Siskins.
At Hollowell Reservoir there was an adult Caspian Gull, an adult Yellow-legged Gull, a Green Sandpiper, a Goosander and four Stonechats.
A Red-throated Diver and a Black-necked Grebe were present at Eyebrook Reservoir and sightings at Stanford Reservoir included a Great White Egret and two Water Rails.
Regards
