Hello
Eric Graham enjoyed himself at Thrapston GP this morning seeing two Great White Egrets, a hunting Peregrine, five Goosanders and a couple of Lesser Redpolls.
Ian Dobson also did well with a visit to Ravensthorpe Reservoir this morning, seeing 3-4 Otters before 9.30am...
Two Ravens were vocal this morning as they flew over Hanging Houghton, upsetting the local Carrion Crows. I visited Market Harborough this morning but didn't see any Otters on the swollen River Welland. A few Siskins and a Grey Wagtail were about but perhaps the more interesting nature observations were of a Moorhen gobbling up a huge lob-worm (I didn't know they did that!) and a pair of Blackbirds feeding their nestlings in a nest in some ivy! A particularly photogenic Robin kept me entertained for quite a while...
Colin Hewitt witnessed a Common Buzzard flushing up about a dozen Snipe from one of the top fields at Harrington Airfield this afternoon.
Regards
Neil M
