NN6 birding...

Hello

Yesterday (Tuesday) wasn't memorable for wildlife, a walk in the evening at Harrington Airfield provided sightings of a Turtle Dove and a pair of Grey Partridge and a growing flock of Linnet that is currently forty to fifty strong. There are plans afoot to run a ringing session at this site on Monday next week when much of the old airstrip and bushes will be out of bounds. Access along footpaths and the concrete track will be unaffected.

Today and the pair of Raven again made a short visit to Hanging Houghton village and the bio blitz team at Pitsford Reservoir (on the reserve north of the causeway) watched an Osprey being mobbed by the Marsh Harrier!

Regards
