End of month birds

Hello

A Red-throated Diver at Boddington Reservoir today was an excellent late autumn find and was still present early this afternoon. The Glossy Ibis continues to delight at Summer Leys LNR and at Grafton Regis/Bozenham Mill a Yellow-browed Warbler was seen yesterday and today.

Two adult Caspian Gulls were still at Hollowell Reservoir this morning and two Stonechats were also present.

At Pitsford Reservoir today there was a Great White Egret, three Pintail and a Stonechat in the Scaldwell Bay, a Woodcock, a Raven and eight Siskins at Christies Copse in the Walgrave Bay and an adult Yellow-legged Gull was in the gull roost off the dam where also two Grey Wagtails.

A pair of Stonechats were at Barnes Meadow LNR this afternoon plus two Cetti's Warblers, two Chiffchaffs, a Water Rail and two Kingfishers. Two Grey Wagtails were in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth and an adult female Peregrine was at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this morning.

The settled weather conditions and mild temperatures with autumnal sunshine ensures there are still a few butterflies and dragonflies on the wing.
