Hello
A wander around Harrington Airfield this morning provided views of c35 Golden Plovers, c12 Bramblings, two Siskins and eleven Grey Partridges. A Woodcock and c10 Bramblings were at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this morning and there were two Ravens, a Grey Wagtail and a Barn Owl at Hanging Houghton this afternoon.
Thrapston Pits today yielded a Peregrine, four Stonechats and a few Siskins plus four or five Great White Egrets and two Chiffchaffs and there were two Great White Egrets this morning at Kinewell Lake, Ringstead Pits. More Chiffchaffs and a Green Sandpiper were adjacent to Ecton Sewage Farm. A pair of Stonechats were found at Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows LNR and two Cattle Egrets were at Stanwick Pits.
A juvenile Peregrine was 'playing' with Carrion Crows at the dam at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon before flying north, with a Kingfisher at the overflow and seven Bramblings flying SW. The remarkable number of Little and Great White Egrets at Pitsford Reservoir continues with one of the Great Whites making an excursion to the pond in Holcot village. A Pink-footed Goose was reported from Stanford Reservoir this afternoon.
Sad news involves an adult Peregrine picked up at the base of a church in Kettering at the weekend which was subsequently euthanized following a vet assessment.
