Cold and wet!

Hello

Cold and wet out there today made it quite different to what we are used to!

Birds noted today included two Cuckoos at Stortons Pits, two Wheatears, two pairs of Grey Partridges and a Grasshopper Warbler at Harrington Airfield with a flock of Arctic Terns being reported at Clifford Hill Pits. 

Birds at a cold, wet Pitsford Reservoir today included plenty of hirundines, six Swifts, a Hobby and two Yellow-legged Gulls. A Barn Owl was again near the village of Old.

The dried mealworms are a favoured treat in our garden with plenty of Starlings, Blackbirds, Jackdaws and Pied Wagtails and there was definitely an increase in the frequency of visits and numbers of birds turning up with such a downturn in the day temperature!
