Hello
Not much opportunity for birding today but a walk at Harrington Airfield this morning yielded plenty of Fieldfares and Redwings and a calling Siskin and some Golden Plovers somewhere. The nearby Draughton Pool was teeming with wildfowl including very good numbers of Wigeon.
Eleanor's run around Pitsford Reservoir south of the causeway provided views of two Great White Egrets but not much else. This afternoon there was a Barn Owl or two hunting in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton plus a couple of Ravens.
Geoff Douglas confirmed the continuing presence of Whooper Swans in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford today plus the Black-tailed Godwit, a Green Sandpiper, a Ruff and a Great White Egret and Adrian Borley saw the first year Scaup on Town lake at Thrapston Pits and a juvenile Whooper Swan still on North Lake there. Kim Taylor espied another Great White Egret at Summer Leys Nature reserve this morning.
Regards
Neil M
