Hello
On Sunday John Gamble came across an amazing scene between Bulwick and Blatherwycke in north Northants, where as many as 200 Red Kites were feeding in a harvested field - probably unprecedented foraging numbers in Northants!
This morning and Eleanor saw a Marsh Harrier in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton which from its description sounds like the same wandering individual noted at Harrington and Pitsford during the last couple of weeks...
Eric's efforts at Thrapston on the Titchmarsh Reserve this morning was good for confirming the continuing presence of the two Great White Egrets plus an adult Yellow-legged Gull. Some of the warblers were still in song including a Grasshopper Warbler.
Birds visible north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir this evening included five drake Red-crested Pochard, half a dozen Little Egrets and singles of Little Ringed Plover, Common Sandpiper and Green Sandpiper.
Regards
Neil M
