It has certainly been a very wild day with strong northerly winds, numerous hail showers and a significant drop in the temperature. I had to dig out my big coat and gloves again. It was definitely a day for staying indoors unless like me you have dogs to walk. Very little of note to report. I did bump into an Osprey at Pitsford Reservoir and this afternoon a flock of 300+ Fieldfares chattering away in the hedgerows which reminded me that they would soon be heading off and that Warblers would be arriving to take their place. I feel sorry for the migrants that have already arrived as they search for food and warmth to recharge themselves after their long journeys. Today Swallows, House and Sand Martins were present at Pitsford Reservoir, fingers crossed that they managed to find enough food.
Yesterday a Black Redstart was photographed in a private garden on the Ise Lodge Estate, Kettering, lucky person. The Red Throated Diver was still present at Hollowell Reservoir, drake Ring Necked Duck popped up again at Titchmarsh LNR and there were 7 Ruff at Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows.
