It's mid week already!!

It's mid week already and following all the excitement at the weekend it has gone very quiet. Maybe it's the "calm before the storm " or simply wishful thinking on my part. The weather is predicted to change at the weekend so who knows what affect this will have on the birds ?

Meanwhile the birds reported since the weekend are found predominantly along the Nene Valley.  At Clifford Hill GP there has been Grey Plover, 3 Sanderlings, Ringed Plovers,  Dunlin, Knot, Turnstones and Avocets. At the New Workings area of Earls Barton GP there has been Sanderling, Ruff,Greenshanks,  Ringed Plovers and Red Crested Pochard.  The Bittern has been seen again at Summer Leys.  A Purple Heron was reported from Kinewell Lake Ringstead whilst a little further along the valley at Titchmarsh LNR Turnstones,  Ringed Plovers and Common Sandpiper.                            Away from the Nene Valley,  an Osprey at Hollowell Reservoir,  Oystercatcher on the dam at Pitsford Reservoir and a Wood Sandpiper at Lilbourne Meadows.
