Hello
Some ringing sessions were underway today with Chris Payne's site at Bradden providing 61 birds made up of three Chaffinches, six Goldfinches, a Greenfinch, thirty-six Blue Tits, a Coal Tit, eleven Great Tits, a Treecreeper, a Nuthatch and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Down at Linford Lakes, Kenny and team shook off the early morning showers and went on to catch 83 birds made up of thirteen Redwings, a Blackbird, a Robin, a Treecreeper, a Goldcrest, twenty-nine Great Tits, thirty-two Blue Tits, a Long-tailed Tit, a Chaffinch and three Goldfinches. Other birds noted on-site included a Great White Egret, a Water Rail, a couple of Tawny Owls and a flock of about a hundred Siskins.
Observers at Thrapston Pits today found two or three Great White Egrets, the juvenile Whooper Swan still, the first year Scaup still on Town Lake and a Stonechat. Matt Hazleton saw two Great White Egrets at Stanwick Pits today with a Cattle Egret and a Pink-footed Goose reported earlier in the day.
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today included two Great White Egrets, the adult Bewick's Swan and at least ten Whooper Swans in the Scaldwell Bay this afternoon plus a scattering of Red-crested Pochard and Pintail. At least one Stonechat was still present and four Green Sandpipers were by the main feeder stream exit into the reservoir. The Great Northern Diver was keeping a low profile but late this afternoon it swam from Yacht Bay towards the dam.
A Barn Owl was hunting the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton at dusk.
