Unfortunately
the nice weather is not proving too good for migrants at the moment but there
are still a few things trickling through. The best birds today were an Osprey at Wykeham South Lake and an acredula (northern) type Willow Warbler
was trapped and ringed at Long Nab.
Also
at Wykeham South Lake this morning was a Little Egret, a Barn Owl and a Yellow
Wagtail and near Long Nab there was a new Grasshopper Warbler at Scalby Lodge
in Trough Gully, the second north of the pond.
A
3 hour period at Wykeham Raptor View Point this morning failed to produce any
Honey Buzzards but there were Goshawk, Sparrowhawk and 5 Common Buzzards.
Finally
today in Wykeham Forest 2 churring Nightjars and 2+ Woodcock were seen at the ‘shrike
clearing’ and at the clearing on Moor Road at least 3 Nightjars were seen and
2+ Woodcock as well.
