First day of April

Hello

Another day with limited reported sightings in the county and although cloudy it was dry and with only a light breeze.

Seven Cattle Egrets on the main lake at Stanwick Pits was a good total and a singing Sedge Warbler was by the visitors centre.

The drake Ring-necked Duck was again at Kinewell Lake, Ringstead Pits this morning.

Thrapston Pits hosted an Osprey today and a Pink-footed Goose was on the north section of Town Lake.

A Wheatear was on the east side of the scrape at Summer Leys LNR and three Avocets dropped in there this evening with a Goosander at the New Workings section of Earls Barton Pits.

New migrants in at Harrington Airfield today included a mobile male Ring Ouzel around the bunkers, two Wheatears, two Willow Warblers, a couple of Swallows and resident Grey Partridges.

The Red-throated Diver was still at Hollowell Reservoir this evening and a Great White Egret in full breeding regaliia was north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir.
