Hello
This morning there was a pair of Stonechat and a Barn Owl in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and birds around the village included a pair of Raven, 8 Siskins and 3 Bramblings. Another Brambling visited Diane Freeman's garden at Rectory Farm, Old.
A visit to Harrington Airfield this afternoon succeeded in locating two Hawfinches feeding on berries by the second bunker but they may have flown on. Other migrant finches were made up of 4 Bramblings, 10 plus Siskins and 2 'Redpolls'.
A ringing recovery received today relates to a juvenile Grey Wagtail initially ringed by Lynne Barnett at Brixworth Treatment Works on 23rd July 2017. This bird, assumed to have been hatched locally, was caught again by members of the South Manchester Ringing Group at Knutsford Moor, Cheshire on 7th September 2017, 46 days later with the bird having travelled 145km in a north-westerly direction!
