Another couple of quiet birding days for me. Despite being out and about wrapped up against the elements I have seen very little. Harrington Airfield was bleak and birdless apart from a Northern Wheatear and a Swallow, Pitsford Reservoir extremely full of water but hardly any birds and shrike hedge/blueberry also birdless!! Infact the highlight of my birding was the arrival of 4 male Reed Buntings in the garden this morning and they remained feeding throughout the day.
Yesterday there was a female Common Redstart at Summer Leys plus the long staying Glossy Ibis, a Kittiwake at Thrapston GP, Northern Wheatear near Everdon, Ruff at Ditchford GP and Red Throated Diver at Hollowell Reservoir. Today there were a few more Kittiwakes with singles reported at Ravensthorpe Reservoir, Clifford Hill GP and Town Lake Thrapston where there was also 2 adult Whooper Swans. Three Cattle Egrets were seen in a field of cattle just north east of Kinewell Lake Ringstead and an Osprey over Boddington Reservoir. There has been a scattering of Sand Martins today with birds reported from Boddington Reservoir, Islip STW, Hollowell and Ravensthorpe Reservoir.
Have a good weekend. Regards Eleanor
