Chris Grimshaw and I went over to Rutland on Saturday 14th July. After a good start at the feeders at the Bird watching Centre with good numbers of Great, Blue and Coal Tits, as well as House Sparrow, Chaffinch (10) and a Greater Spotted Woodpecker, we were both surprised to see 5 or 6 Jackdaws on the feeders as well. Highlights of the day were Temincks Stint Green Sandpiper (7) Common Sandpiper Curlew (3) Ringed Plover Little Ringed Plover Egyptian Geese (14) Greenshank Common Redshank Ospreys (6) inc 2 young on the nest. Cormorants (20) Great Crested Grebe (100) Chiffchaff (10) still all singing quite strongly Huge numbers of Lapwing Oystercatcher (20) Little Egret (15) Then coming home through Empingham, 3 Red Kite. 2 at a distance, and one fairly close. Strange no Avocet were found Andrew |
