Hello
With relatively calm but cool weather conditions, it is no surprise that Northants Ringing Group members were busy today...
A small team operated mist nets at Stortons Gravel Pits catching about 70 birds of which 30 were previously unringed. These captures included 3 Goldcrests, 2 Robins, 5 Dunnocks, 3 Blackbirds, 3 Redwings, 3 Long-tailed Tits, 17 Great Tits, 2 Coal Tits, 18 Blue Tits, 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers, 2 Chaffinches and 5 Reed Buntings. Two of these Reed Buntings were carrying rings indicating they were ringed elsewhere.
Sarah and Kenny worked the mist nets at Linford Lakes and processed 54 birds of 12 species, 44 of which were new birds. This total was made up by 6 Goldcrests, 3 Robins, 4 Dunnocks, 3 Wrens, 14 Redwings, 4 Blackbirds, 8 Blue Tits, 4 Great Tits, 2 Coal Tits, a Chaffinch, 4 Goldfinches and a Siskin.
Jacob completed a little ringing at Scaldwell village this morning catching plenty of common birds but also a Bullfinch and 4 Redwings. A Grey Wagtail and a Hawfinch were noted flying over.
Jacob's subsequent birding expedition to Pitsford Reservoir provided views of 4 Great White Egrets, a Scaup, 2 Dunlin and 2 Redshanks and a Grey Wagtail. A female-type Common Scoter was located in the Holcot Bay but what was presumably the same bird was later in open water half-way between the causeway and the dam. Two Caspian Gulls found each other in the afternoon gull roost, a smart adult and a third calendar year bird.
Helen Franklin's foray into Glyn Davies Wood over in the far west of the county yielded Raven, Nuthatches, Marsh Tits and a Woodcock.
