Hello
Yesterday (22nd) and local birds included the Great Grey Shrike and a Corn Bunting again in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton. A few Bramblings and Siskins were at Scotland Wood (Kelmarsh) and there were again nine Common Buzzards in one tilled field near the village. A few Siskins and the pair of Oystercatcher were at Pitsford Reservoir.
Eric's birding at Thrapston Pits provided records of the immature Whooper Swan, three Pink-footed Geese, a pair of Shelduck, two Great White Egrets, two Oystercatchers, three aggressive Kingfishers and several Chiffchaffs and Cetti's Warblers.
Today (23rd) and a ringing session at Scotland Wood provided 69 birds of 14 species, 41 of which were new birds. They were made up of two Blackbirds, a Song Thrush, a Dunnock, two Wrens, four Robins, three Nuthatches, a Treecreeper, a Goldcrest, a Long-tailed Tit, twenty Great Tits, sixteen Blue Tits, ten Coal Tits, six Chaffinches and a Chiffchaff. Other birds seen included a Crossbill, a male Brambling and a Siskin.
The Great Grey Shrike and Corn Bunting showed up in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning and again there were two Ravens in the village. This afternoon two crane sps flew from Brixworth towards Pitsford Res, they were viewed distantly from the track that runs along the Brampton Valley towards Cottesbrooke.
Elsewhere two Wheatears were at Borough Hill CP, and a Green Sandpiper and a flock of Sand Martins were at Ravensthorpe Reservoir. Two Avocets graced the Summer Leys Reserve with a Little Ringed Plover also in attendance. Single Short-eared Owls were seen at Neville's Lodge and next to Lilbourne Meadows and Nick Parker again relocated the Ring-necked Duck at Thrapston Pits on the Titchmarsh reserve this afternoon at about 4pm. A male Peregrine was near Blueberry Farm (Maidwell) this afternoon.
