Hello
The Great Grey Shrike was again visible from the track that connects the villages of Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke, initially this morning and still present late this afternoon. It's new favoured area appears to be a small plantation on top of the hill, off to the left hand side travelling from Hanging Houghton. In addition two Bramblings were on seed by the large barn near to the Brampton Valley Way below HH, a Barn Owl was ranging widely and two Corn Buntings joined the Yellowhammers again at the wild bird feed crop.
A heavy passage of Meadow Pipits was evident today, still with good numbers moving this afternoon over Harrington Airfield where there was also a pair of Grey Partridge.
Alan Coles saw the two Great Northern Divers at Pitsford Reservoir today, again close to the causeway car park and Steve Fisher saw a Black-tailed Godwit and nine Redshanks at Stanwick Pits this morning.
A few Reed Buntings and Yellowhammers visited seed in our garden today and two Siskins spent a short time on the niger feeder.
Some ringing recoveries have been received of two juvenile Reed Warblers ringed at Stanwick Pits. S214415 relates to a bird ringed on 5th August 2016 and was again recorded on 6th May 2018 when caught by a ringer operating at Laguna de Negrillos, Leon, Spain (639 days later and 1186km from Stanwick). S750867 refers to a bird ringed on 16th July 2017 and assessed as an adult when caught again by a ringer working at Lagunas de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain on 2nd September 2018 (413 days later and 1127km from Stanwick).
