Storm Gareth - day four!

Hello

The Great Grey Shrike appeared again on hedging this morning between Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke but this bird is spending long periods away from the usual site and presumably the high winds are causing it to keep a low profile. A Barn Owl was hunting in the same area this afternoon, another bird that has probably struggled with the extremes of Storm Gareth.

Alan Coles located two Great White Egrets and two Ravens at Summer Leys NR today and Eric's regular exploration at Thrapston Pits provided views of three Great White Egrets, a Pink-footed Goose, a pair of Oystercatcher and a few sheltering Chiffchaffs and Cetti's Warblers.

Regards
