Another gusty June day

Hello

Yet more strong gusts, still no rain and warm this afternoon.

At Hanging Houghton there was a family party of Spotted Flycatchers and five Ravens in the village.

A Caspian Gull was reported from Eyebrook Reservoir and three Great White Egrets were again in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir.

Two Cattle Egrets flew south-west over Stanwick Pits early this morning and a Grasshopper Warbler was reported from Ring Haw, Old Sulehay.

Two Ospreys spent some time at Hollowell Reservoir today and waders at Lilbourne Meadows reserve included Redshank, Little Ringed Plover, Ringed Plover, Common Sandpiper and Green Sandpiper.

Old Sulehay butterflies included over twenty Silver-washed Fritillaries with plenty of Marbled Whites in the more open areas.
