A warm summer's day

Hello

A proper warm and sunny summer's day! And maybe a few more around the corner!

Some more survey work on a private estate this morning provided juvenile Tawny and Barn Owls, just fledged Common Buzzards and two family parties of Spotted Flycatcher.

A few late nests of Common Terns were confirmed on the rafts at Pitsford Reservoir today and the Scaldwell Bay contained four Great White Egrets this morning with two Ravens and an adult Yellow-legged Gull again by the dam.

The two male Common Redstarts were again at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this afternoon and a female Common Redstart was seen at Ramsden Corner Plantation, Church Stowe.

A Wood Sandpiper was again at Eyebrook Reservoir today and Stanford Reservoir hosted a heard only Sandwich Tern and an Osprey which fished successfully.

A Little Tern was a good record for Mary's Lake at Earls Barton Pits this morning and two Black-tailed Godwits were at Stanwick Pits early this morning.

Regards
