Hello
Early morning snow flurries and then beautiful sunshine, blue skies and invigorating cool air reminded us that winter is almost upon us!
The birds at Pitsford Reservoir hadn't changed a great deal, several observers collectively seeing two Great White Egrets, an adult Yellow-legged Gull, a Shelduck, 13 plus Pintail, 3 Redshank, 2 Dunlin, a Green Sandpiper, a male Brambling on the feeders in the grounds of the Sailing Club, a Siskin, a Grey Wagtail and an adult Caspian Gull in the gull roost off the Sailing Club.
Harrington Airfield attracted about three hundred Fieldfares plus smaller numbers of other thrushes, and two Bramblings were at the concrete track entrance. Brixworth Water Treatment Works hosted two Grey Wagtails and a Chiffchaff.
Eleanor saw at least four Ravens at Staverton this morning but her visits to Borough Hill Country Park and Daventry Country Park drew a blank without any birds of interest being seen. Eleanor's last venue was Ravensthorpe Reservoir where she saw two Great White Egrets, the juvenile Whooper Swan and two Grey Wagtails. An unidentified diver sp.flew in at about 3.45pm and disappeared off over the dam and away...
