Much the same!!

Over the past few days the same birds seem to be around.  The Glossy Ibis remains at Pitsford Reservoir along with Osprey,  Marsh Harrier,  Peregrine,  Pintail, Ruffs,  Greenshanks, Black Tailed Godwit, Ringed Plover and  Green Sandpiper .    Another Glossy Ibis remains at Summer Leys along with Marsh Harrier,  Osprey, Bittern, Ruff, Little Ringed Plovers and Common Sandpipers.             5 Whinchats,  Common Redstart,  Northern Wheatears and Marsh Harrier can still be found between Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke although more difficult to locate since their favourite hedge was severely cut down. 

Today there have been a few new birds around, 6 Red Crested Pochards at Pitsford Reservoir, Wood Sandpiper at Naseby Reservoir and Black Terns at Hollowell Reservoir and Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows. 

It is always quite an exciting time of year and there is always something of interest to see.  We just need to get out and about and find it.        Have a good weekend!
