Hello
Cold early on with a northerly breeze, much more pleasant later when the sun came out!
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today included an Osprey near the causeway, a pair of displaying Great White Egrets, a Common Tern, an adult Yellow-legged Gull, a Grey Wagtail, a Redpoll and three Bramblings.
The Red-throated Diver remained at Hollowell Reservoir and an Osprey was there this afternoon. A/the Glossy Ibis re-appeared at Summer Leys LNR after an absence of several days with six Common Snipe also present (ten Golden Plovers flew through) and four basking Grass Snakes provided super viewing.
Little Ringed Plovers were present at Summer Leys and at the Towcester Balancing Lake.
A pair of Firecrest were reported from Hazelborough Forest and one or two Corn Bunting(s) were singing on the county border at Chelveston Airfield.
Another Osprey flew north-east over the A45 at Flore this morning.
Two Wheatears remained at Harrington Airfield where also three Ravens.
Some garden ringing on the north-east outskirts of Northampton provided a Greenfinch, eleven Goldfinches and two Redpolls.
Regards
Neil M
