Hello
Single Ravens were visible and audible at both Kelmarsh and Hanging Houghton today and two Woodcock were at Blueberry Farm and a Long-eared Owl was confirmed on private land nearby.
A Barn Owl was in it's usual spot below Hanging Houghton village today.
Neil Hasdell spent some time looking for Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers at Lings Wood this morning and succeeded! Two birds were calling and drumming in the south east section of the wood about 100m along a track between Lings House and the adjacent playing field. This site remains one of the most reliable places locally to see this rare and elusive species.
Neil went on to Summer Leys LNR and saw a Great White Egret, three Ravens, a Peregrine and a Dunlin.
The Slavonian Grebe was still present at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon, again between Pintail Bay and Yacht Bay. Single Redpolls were vocal at Hanging Houghton and Pitsford Reservoir.
Chris Payne and John Woollett completed some ringing at Bradden in South Northants today, catching 55 birds of 12 species. Highlights included a Nuthatch, two Goldcrests, five Goldfinches (including a ringed bird from elsewhere) and two male Siskins.
Regards
Neil M
