Hello
A visit to Harrington Airfield, the first time in over four weeks, provided a steady flow of over-flying migrants with plenty of Woodpigeons, Starlings and Redwings streaming south west with others in the bushes. Chaffinches were passing over in good numbers with some arcing down into the scrubby areas and Skylarks were both visual and vocal. About two hundred Golden Plovers were on the top fields, fifteen Bramblings were lingering and a Short-eared Owl flew from the straw bales on the concrete track. Two or three more Bramblings were down near the museum and there were six Grey Partridges in the valley below Hanging Houghton.
Subsequent birds included two Ravens over the garden here at Hanging Houghton, a Chiffchaff in the garden and a Grey Wagtail on the house roof!
Elsewhere and a Pink-footed Goose was at Hollowell Reservoir as were four Great White Egrets, five Stonechats and a fly-over Brambling. An Osprey flew west over Moulton this afternoon and Adrian's evening roost check at Kinewell Lake, Ringstead Pits revealed an excellent nine Cattle Egrets and a Great White Egret.
Regards
