Hello
There was plenty of evidence of migration in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning, south-bound birds including the first Redpoll of the autumn, two or three Siskins, Grey Wagtail and plenty of Meadow Pipits. Two Whinchats were in the ditch vegetation and four Golden Plovers were on the fields.
Nearby, Brixworth Country Park hosted a couple of Raven and two or three Siskins. A cracking juvenile Grey Phalarope was located at Pitsford Reservoir, for a time showing closely just off the dam during the early afternoon.
Matt Carey watched a juvenile Gannet overfly Clifford Hill GP this morning as it flew along the river and it or another was later reported in flight between Holdenby and Chapel Brampton.
Further east and Eric saw a Great White Egret at Thrapston Pits and notched up eight Cetti's Warblers and plenty of Chiffchaffs. Marsh Harrier and Spotted Flycatcher were reported from there too.
Regards
Neil M
