Hello
Plenty of birds around today with Debbie and Eric Graham watching a Bittern at Thrapston Gravel Pits this afternoon (from the hide on the Titchmarsh Reserve Heronry Lake) and Cathy Ryden noted a Stonechat at Hollowell Reservoir and three Great White Egrets at Ravensthorpe Reservoir.
Eleanor and Jacob Spinks spent some time at Pitsford Reservoir today, birds noted included 2-3 Great White Egrets, the Slavonian Grebe again, a female Pintail, 4 plus Little Egrets, 2 Green Sandpipers, 2-3 Redshank, a few Snipe, 2-3 Ravens, a Siskin and 2 Grey Wagtails.
The valley below Hanging Houghton continued to host a pair of Stonechat and a Barn Owl whilst Harrington Airfield produced good birds in the shape of a 'ringtail' Hen Harrier (probably a female), 200 plus Golden Plovers, 2 Ravens and at least 2 Bramblings.
The cold weather has caused the birds to be active in the garden here at Hanging Houghton and the scarcer birds were made up of a Reed Bunting, 3-4 Tree Sparrows, 2 Nuthatches and 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers with several Siskins flying over.
Regards
