Harrington ringing

Hello

The Hanging Houghton Great Grey Shrike was on show again today, sometimes showing well along the brook and hedgerows below the village and viewable from the hard standing next to the large barn. A Peregrine was on show over woodland towards Cottesbrooke.

Birds at various places within the Earls Barton Pits complex today included an Osprey over east, a male Redstart (in bushes north of Mary's Lake) and a Grasshopper Warbler at the back of the screen hide, Quarry Walk.

Bird ringing will be taking place at Harrington Airfield tomorrow and access to the old airstrip and bunkers will be restricted during this time. The footpaths and concrete track will remain unaffected.

Regards

Neil M


Yellowhammer.

Linnet.

Willow Warbler.
