Hello
A rather cold and very windy day suppressed the activities of many birds locally but there were at least a few birds on show.
A wander around the Blueberry Farm complex near Maidwell was good for finding a male Common Redstart sheltering in the comparative shelter of a hedge at the bottom of The Hill field. Nearby there was a singing Grasshopper Warbler, defying the unpleasant conditions.
A Peregrine was seen in flight at Lamport and a visit to the south end of Pitsford Reservoir this evening provided sightings of four Oystercatchers and a couple of Common Terns were keeping an Arctic Tern company in the Pintail Bay.
Summer Leys at Earls Barton Pits hosted a Whimbrel, a Bar-tailed Godwit, four Ringed Plovers and two Stoats, all sightings courtesy of David Parker. Ken Prouse saw the Great White Egret at Daventry Country Park this morning but it seems that yesterday's Black-necked Grebes had departed overnight.
Regards
