Hello
Birding opportunities were limited today due to a stricken vehicle so any birds recorded were very much local.
Half a dozen Bramblings were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton again this morning (they roost in the hedging behind the big barn) and a pair of Ravens again spent a while in the biggest trees here in the village at Hanging Houghton. A Brambling was also in the village and two Woodcocks were flushed from a ploughed field adjacent to Scotland Wood (Kelmarsh Estate) this morning.
Elsewhere and Adrian couldn't find either of yesterday's Siberian Chiffchaffs at Ditchford Pits but found a pair of Blackcap whilst he was searching, and then went on to see 2-3 Short-eared Owls at Neville's Lodge, Finedon.
Regards
Neil M
