Another wet July day!

Hello

A wet back-end to the day but mild and dry for most of the morning.

A Whinchat was found in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir this morning, in waterside vegetation just beyond Maytrees Hide and this afternoon an Osprey was perched up near Lagoon Hide which is situated between the Walgrave and Holcot Bays.

A male Common Redstart was still at Woodford Halse LNR and Lilbourne Meadows attracted at least twelve Little Ringed Plovers and a Common Sandpiper.

A Ruddy Shelduck was at Stanford Reservoir this morning before flying off and a Wood Sandpiper was at Eyebrook Reservoir.

The Ravens were again vocal at Hanging Houghton.

Regards

dark, dank conditions providing
there is some warmth.
