Waterlogged birding!

Hello

Plenty of north-bound migration today, the most obvious being the gulls, Fieldfares and a few pipits and wagtails.

A waterlogged Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton witnessed fifteen Golden Plovers flying north and a hunting Barn Owl. A Grey Wagtail flew north over the village at Hanging Houghton and a Raven was heard calling.

The only birds of note at Harrington Airfield which was similarly waterlogged was a flock of nineteen Golden Plovers and a pair of Oystercatcher are now in residence north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir.

Plenty of moisture in
the air and a low sun provides
the perfect end of the day...
