A Raven was cronking loudly in Hanging Houghton this morning and a subsequent ramble around Blueberry Farm, Maidwell provided three Common Redstarts and a Barn Owl.
I paid Market Harborough a visit this morning but during the time I was there I didn't see any Peregrines around the church in the town centre.
This afternoon and I spent some time watching and photographing all three species of wagtail - Pied, Yellow and Grey - feeding on filter beds near Brixworth. Most of the birds were juveniles and the Pied Wagtails in particular show a variable range of plumages at this time of the year.
A Caspian Gull was seen off the A5 pools at Lilbourne today and other birds present included five Yellow-legged Gulls and four Common Sandpipers.
A flock of six waders seen flying over Harrington Airfield may have been Whimbrel and a Great White Egret and two Yellow-legged Gulls (one a juvenile) were at Pitsford Reservoir.
Sixteen Black-tailed Godwits flew in at Summer Leys LNR at about 6.30pm this evening and a Barn Owl was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton.
