Hello
Pretty awful weather first thing which made it rather wet but still mild temperatures for the time of the year. A Barn Owl flew out of the barn in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning and several Bramblings were still with the Chaffinch flock in what was torrential rain at the time!
John Woollett had a Raven overflying the village of Astcote, something of a regular sighting in the villages of South Northants these days
The Pitsford Reservoir birds continued to entertain today, the Bewick's Swan and eleven Whoopers were still north of the causeway together with a Ruff, two Green Sandpipers and a couple of Great White Egrets courtesy of Roger Eads and others.
At the other end of the reservoir Martin Dove and Stuart Mundy managed views of a/the Great Northern Diver in the vicinity of the dam and Sailing Club and off towards the Pintail Bay.
Nick Parker's visit to Thrapston Pits confirmed the continuing presence of the juvenile Whooper Swan and two Great White Egrets at about midday.
Regards
Neil M
