Hello
A variety of observers visited Pitsford Reservoir today and the long-stayers in the shape of the drake Ring-necked Duck, adult Bewick's Swan, eleven Whooper Swans, two Great White Egrets and Great Northern Diver were all seen in blustery conditions.
Active Ravens displaying in the wind today were noted between Maidwell and Lamport, at Pitsford Reservoir and Staverton. Two Bramblings and a Barn Owl were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton early this morning.
Barbara Nunn visited Abington Park, Northampton today and located six Ring-necked Parakeets in the spinney between the lakes.
Eleanor visited Kentle Wood on the outskirts of Daventry and saw a pair of Stonechat, a hunting female Merlin and a male Peregrine. A walk around Ravensthorpe Reservoir this afternoon provided a surprise in the shape of a Water Pipit feeding on the water's edge by the fishing boats, a pair of Mandarin Ducks by the dam overflow and a Great White Egret.
Regards
Neil M
