Quiet winter lull

Hello

A breezy day but mild and mostly bright but again a day with few reports.

The Glossy Ibis continues to show at Summer Leys LNR and other birds there included a Water Rail (in front of Rotary Hide), two Great White Egrets, a female Pintail and a fly-over flock of Golden Plovers.

A Great White Egret and a Woodcock were in the Walgrave Bay at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon, a Grey Wagtail was noted at Kelmarsh and the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton continued to attract two Green Sandpipers, two Grey Wagtails and a Barn Owl.

Five Smew and a Scaup were still at Eyebrook Reservoir and Stanford Reservoir could only muster a Great White Egret, a Goosander, two Ravens and a Cetti's Warbler.
