September 14th 2009

Kevin reported the Pec was still at the pond while I was plodding away around the south side of Napton on the Hill early morning. More activity than yesterday but no obvious over night migration accept for a lone Whimbrel that flew south. The only other highlight was a party of 6 Raven overhead and another party of eight on the ground looking towards the Hellidon tower.
Napton reservoir was more productive with 2 Yellow Wagtail, 15 Long-tailed Tit, Kingfisher, female Wigeon, Reed Warbler and Water Rail.
The pond this afternoon still had the Pec Sandpiper along with 2 Curlew Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper, Ringed Plover and 3 Dunlin in toft bay, Sedge Warbler in biggen bay and a Redshank on the outlet. Still quiet a few Yellow Wagtails about and warblers seen included 2 Lesser Whitethroat, Garden Warbler, 3 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff and 2 Willow Warbler. Juvenile Shelduck still.
Pec still present this evening
