Hello
A cool breezy morning turning to rain by lunchtime which then finished at dusk. The birds in the garden seemed particularly hungry today and it was a job to keep up!
The Glossy Ibis again put in an appearance at Summer Leys LNR and at Stanwick Pits the two Cattle Egrets were again in a sheep field near to North Lake and three Great White Egrets were on the complex. A Short-eared Owl flew over the A45 at the Wilby roundabout at 9.20am this morning.
Four Chiffchaffs at Ecton SF included a colder-coloured bird with some similarity to Siberian Chiffchaff.
The Great Northern Diver was seen again at Pitsford Reservoir, between The Narrows and Catwalk Bay late morning.
A Cattle Egret was a good local find near to Blatherwycke Lake next to Home Farm and the Scaup was still present on the lake.
An adult male Peregrine and a Woodcock were at Harrington Airfield today and a Grey Wagtail was at Kelmarsh.
Four drake Smew and the Scaup were at Eyebrook Reservoir.
Regards
Neil M
