Hello
Eleanor's early morning patrol of the Brampton Valley between Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke this morning quickly confirmed the presence of the wintering Great Grey Shrike, perched up in one of it's favourite hedges. It was till present some seven hours later, and the adult male Merlin again put in an appearance mid afternoon.
Nothing of note at Harrington Airfield this morning albeit that singing birds included Skylark, Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer.
A Raven was heard calling in Hanging Houghton and birds present at Brixworth Water Treatment Works included two Grey Wagtails, eight Snipe and a dozen Teal. Nearby a second calendar year Yellow-legged Gull was present just north of the dam at Pitsford Reservoir.
Eric's saunter around Thrapston Pits today conjured up sightings of the three Pink-footed Geese, a drake Goosander, a Little Egret, two Great White Egrets, a couple of Cetti's Warblers and two Chiffchaffs.
Regards
Neil M
