Hobbies, Barn Owls, waders and more

Hello

Very similar weather to the last few days, it was again bright and breezy today!

A Barn Owl was out hunting near Old this morning and the early shift at Stanwick Pits provided news of a Whimbrel on the islands of the Layby Pit and a couple of Dunlin on the Main Pit. Summer Leys hosted two drake Garganey, a Black-tailed Godwit, two Redshanks, two Little Ringed Plovers, a Hobby, Shelduck and Egyptian Geese.

Thrapston Pits provided a super sight of 14 Hobbies hawking over the Titchmarsh Reserve this morning plus a Cuckoo and the Oystercatcher family.

A Barn Owl was hunting in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning and two Spotted Flycatchers were at Beck Dairy, Cottesbrooke. Two Ravens overflew the garden but didn't linger.

Regards
