Bramblings, Golden Plovers and Ravens.

Hello

A cold but still day with a little early morning mist and frost, with rain and possible wintry showers tomorrow.

The best of the bunch at Harrington Airfield today were two male Bramblings coming down with other birds on to the supplied seed and approximately one hundred and twenty Golden Plovers in fields opposite the concrete track entrance.

Nearby eleven Golden Plovers were noticed near Scaldwell with a Redpoll and three Siskins in village gardens. Ravens were seen at Harlestone Lake and just south of Great Oxendon and a Barn Owl and a pair of Stonechats were still in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton.

Other birds reported today included a Stonechat at Sywell Country Park, the nine Crossbills again at Hollowell Reservoir and at least twenty-four White-fronted Geese and two Cattle Egrets at Stanwick Pits.

We seem to be just on the edge of a potential snowfall tomorrow with several centimetres predicted for counties east of us.

Regards
