Hello
Today was the wetland count day at Pitsford Reservoir which took some five hours with three observers. South of the causeway the Great Northern Diver was present but rather elusive today, the female/immature Common Scoter was present in The Narrows again, plus eight Little Egrets, two Grey Wagtails, two Redpolls, a pair of Stonechats and three Chiffchaffs. It was quieter north of the causeway but there was a Great White Egret, a female Stonechat, at least eight Siskins, eight Pintails, eleven Common Snipe and a Grey Wagtail.
Two showy Glossy Ibis showed up at Stanwick Pits today plus the six Cattle Egrets were there too.
At Hollowell Reservoir there were three adult Caspian Gulls, a first year Yellow-legged Gull, a pair of Mandarin Ducks, a Goosander, a good count of seventy-one Cormorants and four Stonechats with a Chiffchaff at nearby Ravensthorpe Reservoir.
An Oystercatcher was at Clifford Hill Pits this morning plus a Great White Egret and two Stonechats and a Cattle Egret was at Stanford Reservoir. Eyebrook Reservoir hosted a 'redhead' Smew and a Black-necked Grebe.
Regards
Neil M
