Hello
Some more volatile weather again today and yet more significant rain!
Summer Leys LNR (probably with ample use of the hides by observers) proved to be the site providing most of the records today with a Black-tailed Godwit, a Grey Plover, two Little Ringed Plovers, five Common Snipe, eight Redshanks, a Little Gull, twenty Golden Plovers flying west and a Cattle Egret flying off east.
Nearby there were three Black-tailed Godwits at Stanwick Pits first thing and the 'redhead' Smew was still at Clifford Hill Pits this morning. The female Ring-necked Duck was still on Cotton Reel Lake at Ditchford Pits at lunchtime.
A singing Willow Warbler was at Castle Ashby sandpit this morning and an Osprey flew south of Hollowell village heading towards Ravensthorpe Reservoir late this morning.
At Pitsford Reservoir there were eight Sand Martins and an adult Yellow-legged Gull off the dam and two Barnacle Geese were in the Scaldwell Bay north of the causeway at noon. Twenty-five Golden Plovers was all I could see of note at Harrington Airfield this morning.
Regards
