More birds of the blustery wind and sunshine

Hello

Birding at Stanford Reservoir today provided the 'reeling' Grasshopper Warbler again, two Spotted Flycatchers, the two Cuckoos still, two Hobbies, a Kingfisher and two Cetti's Warblers.

Two Grey Wagtails and a Kingfisher were in the Welland Valley below Cottingham this morning.

A Naturetrek Day Tour around Rectory Farm, Great Easton and Eyebrook Reservoir provided two sightings of an Osprey, a Raven, at least three Great White Egrets and several Brown Hares and a  significant hatch of Small Tortoiseshell butterflies.

An Osprey showed a couple of times at Pitsford Reservoir today both over the causeway and in the Scaldwell Bay.

A Spotted Flycatcher was at Towcester Water Meadows today, a Hobby and a Cuckoo were at Sixfields Lake and a Barnacle Goose was at Clifford Hill Pits.

This evening and a Barn Owl was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton.
