A much brighter and warmer day was altogether more seasonal as were the few birds reported in the county today.
Spotted Flycatchers were calling in Maidwell village this morning, the Cattle Egret was seen again at Stanwick Pits and a Great White Egret turned up on the scrape at Summer Leys LNR.
Elsewhere and a juvenile Little Ringed Plover and an Osprey were at Hollowell Reservoir, Grey Wagtails and a Hobby were near Brixworth and just before 9pm this evening a Curlew was heard calling over Hanging Houghton.
We now have Scarlet Tiger moths daily in our garden, the Green Alkanet appears to be their favoured foodplant which we have plenty of.
Robin has sent some images through of aquatic life which is probably a first for this blog!
