A ringing session took place at Brixworth Treatment Works today which resulted in 104 captures which included 17 Redwings, two Blackbirds, two Great Spotted Woodpeckers, a Cetti's Warbler (only the third ringed on-site), four Goldcrests, a remarkable eighteen Wrens, a Pied Wagtail and fourteen Reed Buntings. Small numbers of Snipe and Water Rails were present plus three Grey Wagtails, a Redpoll and a small flock of Golden Plovers flew over. The Pytchley Hunt were frustrated when their wily fox quarry took refuge within the compound - which put a smile on our faces!
At Harrington Airfield this morning a Short-eared Owl was present plus two Woodcock, a Brambling, four Redpoll and several Siskins. A pair of Stonechat were still in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and three Roe Deer remained at Blueberry Farm.
The four Black-necked Grebes and a Great White Egret remained at Stanford Reservoir.
