Yesterday evening (21st), there were 2 Red Kites and 2 Barn Owls at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell.
Also yesterday local ringers completed a short ringing session at Stortons GP, catching and ringing a few warblers. Ringing operations there indicate that there are at least 7 Cetti's Warblers on-site currently (believed to be 4 males and 3 females).
I was out and about for much of the day today (22nd) but failed to connect with anything new or unusual. In fact the highlight of the day was the kind donation of a home-made rhubarb crumble which was yummie!
Despite a good tramp around Harrington Airfield this morning, there seemed to be few new birds although the number of singing Willow Warblers had increased. Four Wheatears adorned the bunkers and the Whitethroats are beginning to sing a little now.
A few each of Lesser Redpoll and Siskin were present at both Kelmarsh Hall and Scotland Wood. Pitsford Res seemed unchanged with the 2 Oystercatchers, a Common Sandpiper, a Green Sandpiper, 2 Ravens and a Lesser Redpoll.
A couple of Lesser Redpolls, Tree Sparrows and several Reed Buntings and Yellowhammers persist in visiting our garden and trying to dodge the regular Sparrowhawk forays.
