Hello
A quite awful day's weather today with rain for much of it but the weather forecast tomorrow looks quite different with breeze and sunshine.
A Barn Owl again hunting in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton first thing this morning was a nice surprise, with a pair of Stonechats there again this afternoon.
Birds at Pitsford Reservoir today showed little change with two Great White Egrets, the leucistic drake Red-crested Pochard and a pair of Stonechat in the Scaldwell Bay and six Marsh Tits between the Scaldwell and Maytrees Hides. A first year Yellow-legged Gull was off the dam this afternoon.
Three Marsh Tits, including the one legged bird are visiting John Hunt's garden at Spratton together with a pair of Blackcaps.
A Cetti's Warbler, a Water Rail and up to thirty Magpies were at Brixworth Treatment Works this afternoon with neighbouring fields attracting good numbers of Reed Buntings, Yellowhammers and common finches.
Regards
Neil M
