Clifford Hill Wood Warbler

Hello

More wind today but plenty of sunshine too!

Bird of the day was another Tyler Atkinson find, this time of a singing Wood Warbler at the Nene Barrage of Clifford Hill Pits in the unlikely spot of some trees north of the River Nene. Vigour and young eyes is something I can barely remember now!

Other birds on-site included three Arctic Terns and four Greenshanks that flew east, a Black Tern, three Whimbrel and two Cattle Egrets that flew over heading north.

Stanwick Pits attracted a near-adult Little Gull, a Cattle Egret and two Greenshanks.

Summer Leys LNR provided views of the Glossy Ibis again, a Black Tern, an Arctic Tern, a Wood Sandpiper, two Whimbrel, two Avocets, a Grey Plover, a Common Sandpiper, two Redshanks, a Ringed Plover and two Little Ringed Plovers.

A Black Tern was noted at Ravensthorpe Reservoir and at Stanford Reservoir there were two Hobbies, a Cuckoo, a Great White Egret, a Shelduck, two Common Sandpipers, a Grasshopper Warbler and a Cetti's Warbler.

A Cuckoo was at Woodford Halse and Lilbourne Water Meadows was the venue for an Egyptian Goose, about thirteen Little Ringed Plovers, a Redshank, two Oystercatchers, a Golden Plover and a Common Sandpiper. A Barn Owl was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this evening.
