Sunday birds

Hello

Yesterday afternoon (Saturday) and a walk around Ravensthorpe Reservoir provided views of three Great White Egrets, two Green Sandpipers, two Kingfishers and four Grey Wagtails.

Today (Sunday) and a short ringing session at Harrington Airfield produced some more migrants which included nine Redwings, a Lesser Redpoll, a Brambling, a couple of continental Chaffinches and a Meadow Pipit. Other birds noted on-site included up to a dozen Bramblings, twenty Golden Plovers, four Ravens and an assortment of finches and thrushes.

Kelmarsh Hall attracted a Grey Wagtail,  a 'Redpoll' and a couple of Siskins and this afternoon the female Merlin materialised again in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton as did the pair of Stonechat and a vocal Barn Owl.

Regards
