Still all the egrets!

Hello

Another blustery day didn't provide anything new but despite the strong south-westerly headwind, plenty of Woodpigeon flocks ploughed on over Harrington Airfield in flocks up to fifty strong. Other visible migration included small flocks of Redwings and finches which included Chaffinches, Greenfinches and six Siskins. Five Grey Partridges were seen, there were just five Golden Plovers on the exposed top field and with two Bramblings, more Redwings and common finches in the bushes.

At Thrapston Pits today there were a couple of drake Goldeneye on show plus three Great White Egrets, six Little Egrets and a Cattle Egret (in the sailing club grounds) and a Chiffchaff, all courtesy of Eric Graham.

Other reports included five Cattle Egrets on the main lake at Stanwick Pits this morning with a Scaup at Daventry Country Park this afternoon.
