Autumn merging towards winter...

Hello

Eric enjoyed himself at Thrapston Pits today with a quality selection of birds which included the now long-staying six Velvet Scoters, a Great White Egret, five Little Egrets, a pair of Red-crested Pochard, a Scaup and two Yellow-legged Gulls.

Eleanor ran around the south section of Pitsford Reservoir this morning, notching up three Great White Egrets (one Moulton Grange and two in Pintail Bay) and several Redpolls.

In the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning there were four Bramblings, two Siskins and two Redpolls with lots of Skylarks and Meadow Pipits on the fields. A Grey Wagtail was in the village as were a couple of Siskins. Harrington Airfield sported a day time hunting Barn Owl this afternoon but little else. A Grey Wagtail and several Siskins were noted at Overstone Park.

I think without exception all these
images were taken in the rain during
our 'summer' trip to Iceland this year
(it was exceptionally cold and wet but
still amazing despite the weather conditions).
