Hello
A couple each of Redpoll and Brambling touched down briefly at Scotland Wood (Kelmarsh Estate) today and a pair of Raven were very vocal at Kelmarsh Hall. The usual pair of Raven were at Staverton today and a brief stop at Ravensthorpe Reservoir provided views of a Ruddy Shelduck, a Great White Egret and four Pintail.
Eric was at Thrapston Pits again today and an excellent suite of ducks on Town Lake included six Velvet Scoters, two Common Scoters and a Scaup, and that was after he had earlier heard a Yellow-browed Warbler near to his house in Corby (bird not seen).
A ringing session at Linford Lakes this morning by Kenny and Sarah provided 76 birds of which 45 were new. In addition to the usual tits they caught 14 Goldfinches, 4 Chaffinches, 2 Redwings, a Blackbird and a Goldcrest.
Regards
Neil M

| A Blackbird hatched this year but the colour of the bill, pale edging to feathers and no doubt the biometrics suggest this bird is from the continent and probably intends to winter in the UK. |
