Hello
With most of the floods having subsided this morning, there was lots of lovely mud to contend with instead. A Woodcock flushed up at Kelmarsh Hall had probably been displaced by the weather and Eleanor saw a pair of Grey Partridge at Harrington Airfield and a pair of Stonechat at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell.
This afternoon Eleanor located 50 Golden Plovers near Newlands,Walgrave and two vocal Curlews flew over in a southerly direction. A pair of Grey Partridge were present too.
Checking the distant gull roost at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon failed to find a scarce gull; a Kingfisher was the only bird of note.
Chris Payne committed to some bird ringing at Bradden today, catching some 38 birds which included several new Chaffinches, a new Treecreeper and a Greenfinch already bearing a ring from elsewhere.
About time for some classic spring migrants please!
Regards
Neil M
