Hello
Local spring-like weather today caused plenty of birds to sing which included Skylark, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush and Great Tit.
Eric's efforts at Thrapston Pits today produced sightings of an adult Peregrine, two Great White Egrets, a Kingfisher and a pair of Oystercatchers.
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today included a drake Ring-necked Duck in the Pintail Bay, two Great Northern Divers south of the causeway near to The Pigs and nine Red-crested Pochard in the Walgrave Bay.
The Great Grey Shrike was in the Brampton Valley between Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke today but was again elusive, a male Merlin flew through and a Corn Bunting and a Brambling were there too. Three Bramblings fed in our garden this morning and three Siskins were at Scotland Wood.
Elsewhere the eight Crossbills were seen again at Irchester Country Park and the 'ringtail' Hen Harrier was seen again at Neville's Lodge, Finedon.
Regards
Neil M
