Another cool February day

Hello

This morning the Great Northern Diver and a Great White Egret were again at Pitsford Reservoir, between the causeway and the dam, the diver close to the Brixworth bank near Pintail Bay and towards The Narrows.

Stanford Reservoir attracted a Caspian Gull, a Yellow-legged Gull, two Great White Egrets, three Pintail, eleven Goosanders, a Kingfisher and a Cetti's Warbler. Hollowell Reservoir provided two Caspian Gulls, four Jack Snipe, thirteen Common Snipe and a pair of Stonechats.

A Grey Wagtail was in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth, a Peregrine was at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell and a single Short-eared Owl was on private land nearby this afternoon.

The Glossy Ibis was again at Summer Leys LNR and the supporting cast was three Great White Egrets, an Oystercatcher and two hundred and fifty Golden Plovers. A Smew was again at Clifford Hill Pits this morning on the Nene Barrage Lake.
