Hello
It's always a busy time of the year trying to put finishing touches to projects ahead of the breeding season for our resident and migrant birds, but the weather has certainly helped! Most of the nest boxes we have been trying to erect, maintain and/or clear out has been achieved and today we finally finished work on trying to develop a new Swift colony. As a consequence this hasn't left much time for birding!
Sadly yesterday's Black Redstart at Old village wasn't seen today. Seemingly like most recent springs, a White Stork was seen in the Warmington area today, in flight and heading towards the Cambridgeshire border.
At Stanford Reservoir today there was a Common Tern, a Reed Warbler, a Sedge Warbler, two Oystercatchers, a Kingfisher and about fifty Fieldfares whilst at Hollowell Reservoir there were two Jack Snipe and five Common Snipe.
In the Nene Valley about a hundred Fieldfares were noted heading over Clifford Hill Pits in an easterly direction and at Earls Barton Pits the Glossy Ibis was seen again plus a Black-tailed Godwit on Summer Leys and also a Common Tern, three Oystercatchers, four Redshanks, two Little Ringed Plovers and four Common Snipe.
A male Common Redstart was at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this morning.
Regards
Neil M
