September 5th 2011

Yesterdays Little Stint found at the pond by the Bumbling Bears gave me the run around this morning eventually getting a brief view of it on the north shore near lin croft point after a juvenile Peregrine had beaten up the place. Overall a quiet visit with 3 Ringed Plover 2 Little Ringed Plover, Ruff, 8 Dunlin, 4 Greenshank, 3 Common Sandpiper, 2 Wheatear, Blackcap and 7 Yellow Wagtail.
A visit to Napton on the Hill was hampered by the wind picking up so only a single Spotted Flycatcher found and very little else though 12 Tree Sparrow near the entrance to Napton Reservoir was worth noting and the reservoir its self had Water Rail, Snipe, Meadow Pipit, Reed Warbler and Yellow Wagtail.
