September sunshine birds

Hello

A beautiful autumn day with plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures at the start and end of the day...

Eleanor's morning visit to the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton provided plenty of visible migration, again dominated by Meadow Pipits. A pair of Stonechat were right on cue and two Ravens were visible too. A walk around the bunkers and top fields at Harrington Airfield was a mostly quiet affair with just a Redpoll and a Golden Plover of note.

There was no sign of the Grey Phalarope at Pitsford Reservoir today, although Jacob did see a Greenshank and Green Sandpiper around the dam area.
