Hello
Yesterday afternoon Chris Payne tried some ringing in his Greens Norton garden and was surprised to catch 60 birds! These were made up of 16 Goldfinches, 19 Blue Tits, 4 Coal Tits, 3 Great Tits, 5 Greenfinches, 3 House Sparrows, 7 Long-tailed Tits, 2 Goldcrests and a Woodpigeon.
Jacob was at Pitsford Reservoir (again!) today and amassed a good list of birds made up of a Spotted Redshank, a Redshank, 6 Greenshanks, 4 Green Sandpipers, 6 Ruff, 9-14 Dunlin, 4 Ringed Plover, a Black-tailed Godwit, a Barnacle Goose, 4 Yellow-legged Gulls, a Pintail, a Hobby, 3 Stonechats and 2 Whinchats.
Cathy Ryden's visit to Hollowell Reservoir threw up a surprise when a Short-eared Owl flushed in front of her, very much a rare bird for this site.
Regards
Neil M
