Hello
A modest ringing session at Harrington Airfield this morning provided 52 birds which included 25 new Redwings, 5 new Blackbirds and 5 new Meadow Pipits. Two Hawfinches were flying around the bushes with Redwings at 8.20am and there were various sightings and calls of singles during the morning including at least another one flying straight through, so a minimum of four birds. Nearby there two more Hawfinches in a hawthorn hedge in the Brampton Valley at Draughton Crossing and at 9am another single flying around gardens at Hanging Houghton.
Other birds noted at Harrington during the day included small numbers of Siskin, Redpoll and Brambling and a couple of Snipe. In excess of four Bramblings and a Barn Owl were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and small numbers of Brambling, Siskin and Redpoll were noted a several spots in the NN6 district this afternoon. Single Grey Wagtails were in Scaldwell village and Kelmarsh Hall.
Eleanor and Jacob visited Pitsford Reservoir and between them they saw 4 Great White Egrets, a Barnacle Goose, a Red-crested Pochard, 10 Pintail, 4 Scaup, 3 Redshanks, 3-4 Green Sandpipers, 8 Dunlin and 2 Siskins. Large numbers of Redwings and Fieldfares were moving over all day within NN6...
