Hello
It was the last day of ringing at Harrington Airfield this week and the birds caught and ringed today included a Fieldfare, 14 Redwings, 2 Meadow Pipits and 6 Reed Buntings amongst 50 plus birds captured. No Hawfinches were noted on-site today and although there were still reasonable numbers of Redwings and Fieldfares about, visible migration was much quieter than of late. Vocal Golden Plovers were mostly flying over but they are coming down into fields nearby. A covey of Grey Partridge were seen yesterday and a single 'Redpoll' was mobile today late morning.
A hunting Barn Owl was seen early this morning near Staverton and birds noted by Jacob at Pitsford Reservoir today included 5 Great White Egrets, 8 Pintail, a Red-crested Pochard, 4 Scaup, 2 Dunlin, 4 Redshanks, 116 Golden Plovers, 3 Green Sandpipers, 6 Snipe and a Stonechat and a Grey Wagtail. Eleven Siskins were seen flying over Scaldwell village and a Grey Wagtail was at Hanging Houghton.
Regards
