Hello
I arrived back last night from a nine day trip to South France, centred around the Camargue but with a view to finding birds including the fabulous Wallcreeper in the Apilles regional park. We were successful in our search but am now back for some county birding!
This morning there were approximately eight Bramblings around the grain store in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and later there were two males coming to feeders in the garden (in association with Chaffinches and Goldfinches).
Eleanor saw her usual two Ravens at Staverton today and this afternoon watched two Otters splashing about on the 'small side' of Ravensthorpe Reservoir.
A Golden Plover was heard calling at Harrington Airfield and birds at Pitsford Reservoir included nine Whooper Swans, four Great White Egrets, sixteen Pintail, thirteen Red-crested Pochard, a Redshank, a Ruff and two or three Yellow-legged Gulls.
Regards
Neil M
