Between a day's holiday on Thursday and a day at Beckingham today, I have not had much chance to see what's about at Langford in the latter half of this week. But not to worry, there are still plenty of sightings to report....
Wednesday -
Barn owl hunting over Phase 1
5 little egrets on Phase 2
Immature male and female marsh harriers
Cetti's warbler singing from Phase 1
First singing reed bunting of the year
Tree sparrows back at the Phase 1 feeding station
and the Langford rarity....
a house sparrow (!) spotted by volunteer Graham Gamage on Tuesday at the Phase 1 feeding station. These lovely little birds, although numerous in nearby Collingham, are indeed rare on site, preferring to live nearer human habitation in the village and not often straying onto the reserve. Well done Graham!
