Mid Week

Mid week already!! My birding list is virtually non existent despite being out and about.  But I have enjoyed watching other things, Hares, Roe Deer, Red Admirals, amazing rainbows, beautiful sunrises and sunsets and of course the myriad of the autumn colours which are now coming to the fore.

Thankfully other folks have had more success on the birding front. Today a Yellow-browed Warbler was trapped and ringed at Stanford Reservoir.  Other birds at Stanford include 5 Red-crested Pochards and a Whooper Swan. A Bittern was photographed at Titchmarsh LNR.  The Glossy Ibis remains at Summer Leys and this evening a Wood Sandpiper was also seen there.           If you are interested in gulls there has been Mediterranean Gulls reported from Summer Leys,  Boddington and Stanford Reservoirs.  Up to 12 Yellow-legged Gulls and a Caspian Gull have also been seen at Boddington Reservoir.
