Mid week round up.

During the last couple of days I have been concentrating my efforts at Pitsford Reservoir and Harrington Airfield, however both sites have been disappointingly quiet.
No birds of note at Harrington Airfield, just plenty of tractors muck spreading and scuffling the fields.
Birds at Pitsford include a Great White Egret [scaldwell bay], 10+ Little Egret, 2 Greenshank, 3 Black Tailed Godwits, Green and Common Sandpiper, Ringed Plovers and Dunlin.  Pitsford looks the best it has looked for years with plenty of muddy shoreline, spits and emerging islands due to the dropping water level.

The harvest is in full swing below Hanging Houghton and it was extremely dusty there this evening which made birding difficult.
