Cool and breezy again.

Hello

Some more cool, windy weather today, not exactly the sunny day as forecast!

The Red-throated Diver continued to grace the water at Hollowell Reservoir today and Stanford Reservoir continues to host four Great White Egrets, five Goosanders, three Oystercatchers, a Common Snipe and early warblers and hirundines.

Summer Leys LNR provided a loafing Caspian Gull on Cormorant Spit, a Marsh Harrier, two Little Ringed Plovers and six Common Snipe.

The New Workings/Whiston Wetlands section of Earls Barton Pits provided the sight of a drake Red-crested Pochard and his Mallard partner with four presumed hybrid ducklings in tow! Other birds included two Goosanders, one or two Great White Egret(s) and a Green Sandpiper.

A Bar-tailed Godwit flew through at Clifford Hill Pits and five Little Ringed Plovers and the two Wheatears were still present.

A singing Firecrest was noted in Bucknell Wood.
