Over the last couple of days the weather has been very "autumnal " with misty early mornings giving way to sunshine, blue skies and a lovely fresh temperature. Definitely my favourite time of year and if I could I would be outdoors from dawn until dusk.
There are still plenty of good birds around in the county. A Glossy Ibis remains at Summer Leys with another 2 seen at Stanford Reservoir and a further 2 at Titchmarsh LNR. I don't think that the Pitsford bird has been reported for a few days. Yesterday a fem/imm Common Scoter turned up at Hollowell Reservoir. Other birds at Hollowell Reservoir include 10 Stonechats, 6 Egyptian Geese, Caspian Gull and Ringed Plovers. Nearby a Great White Egret at Ravensthorpe Reservoir and a Crossbill at Naseby Reservoir. A Slavonian Grebe and Bittern were reported from Stanford Reservoir and 2 drake Red Crested Pochards at Daventry Reservoir whilst at Pitsford Reservoir an Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Little Stint, Ruff, Dunlin, Ringed Plovers, Red Crested Pochard and Stonechat.
