Quiet Times

A visit to Titchmarsh Reserve by Eric and Nick a few hours apart produced 5 Great White Egret, Peregrine Falcon, 3 Goosander, 3 Pink Footed Geese, 19 Little Egret and a Whooper Swan.
Meanwhile I was walking/running the area between Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke.  The Great Grey Shrike was hard work today and I only saw it briefly on two occasions . At least 2 Corn Buntings remain and the Merlin put in an appearance.
I couldn't locate any Brambling at the cattle shed and there wasn't any visiting our garden today, so not sure if they have moved on.

Tomorrow is a whole new day .....

A reminder that the Northamptonshire Bird Club meet tomorrow evening at 7.30pm at the Lodge, Pitsford Reservoir.  It is one of the highlights of the year , the " Photographic Competition". 
Please come along if you simply enjoy looking at bird, wildlife, insect and landscape images.  Everyone is welcome. Tea/coffee and biscuits provided.      See you there .

Regards Eleanor
