Hello
At Harrington Airfield this morning there were still plenty of Bramblings, probably around the fifty mark, and spread over the complex. Other birds included a Woodcock, two Ravens and 15 Siskins and a high-flying flock of c100 Golden Plovers. At Kelmarsh Hall a Kingfisher was seen and there was a Grey Wagtail and c20 Siskins with 12 Siskins, a Redpoll and c10 Bramblings at nearby Scotland Wood. A few Siskins and a Raven were at Hanging Houghton.
At Sywell Country Park today there were two Cetti's Warblers, over a hundred Siskins, a Water Rail, a Kingfisher and c400 flying Golden Plovers. Birds at Pitsford Reservoir amounted to a Wood Sandpiper, thirteen Great White Egrets and unspecified numbers of Pintail and Red-crested Pochard, mostly in the Scaldwell Bay.
A pair of Smew was a good find at Brightwells Lake at Ringstead Pits today with eight Cattle Egrets at nearby Kinewell Lake.
The birds at Hollowell Reservoir included a third winter Caspian Gull plus the Pink-footed Goose, five Great White Egrets, eleven Little Egrets, four Stonechats and five Siskins.
