Hello
Another day of volatile and initially wet weather doesn't make finding wildlife that easy!
A Water Pipit was again seen on the scrape at Summer Leys LNR this afternoon and two Stonechats were at Upton Country Park.
Two Barn Owls were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon and a Jay was a rare visitor to our garden today. Small numbers of Bramblings continue to roost in hedging behind the large barn in the valley but it's mostly Chaffinches that are coming to the seed put down there.
At least twenty Bramblings were at Harrington Airfield today and there were still good numbers of Redwings and Fieldfares present. Ringing sessions targeting the migrant thrushes are planned for this site on both Saturday and Sunday and access to the bunker areas and the old airstrip will be restricted during this time (access to the concrete track is unaffected).
Regards
Neil M
