Hello
Eleanor's early morning foray in to the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and around the Blueberry Farm complex produced some birds this morning with a hunting Barn Owl in the northern-most field of Blueberry, two vocal Short-eared Owls on The Hill and three adult Bewick's Swans flying over towards Hollowell Reservoir at about 8am (I wonder if they are the birds from Grafham Water on their way to Slimbridge?).
The below images were taken by Clive Beasley depicting bird-life around the Sailing Club grounds at Pitsford Reservoir yesterday...
Regards

Two other pairs have a single cygnet each but all the other pairs failed to produce offspring. The pair with three cygnets nested in the grounds of the Sailing Club suggesting that this comparatively protected environment made all the difference. |
