Northants Bird Club Indoor Meeting 7th Nov

Hello

A walk at Harrington Airfield this morning did not produce much out of the ordinary and the choice birds at Hanging Houghton amounted to just a Raven, a Grey Wagtail and a couple of Siskins. A single Great White Egret at Ravensthorpe Reservoir was the only bird of note seen there. A Grey Wagtail was at Brixworth Water Treatment Works.

On Wednesday 7th Nov it is the indoor meeting of the Northants Bird Club at the usual venue of the Fishing Lodge at Pitsford Reservoir beginning at 7.30pm. The returning speaker is Conor Jameson who previously presented on the Goshawk. This time his talk is about the Hudson Legacy - the influence of the Victorian author, campaigner and ornithologist W.H. Hudson. This inspired individual helped create modern conservation, organisations and the presentation will reflect on this and with birding stories along the way.

As usual hot drinks and biscuits will be available and everyone is welcome!

Regards

Neil M
