Hello
A warm but windy day provided relatively few reports of birds in the county, however the elusive Ferruginous Duck was eventually found at Daventry Country Park today after early attempts failed to connect.
Two Spotted Flycatchers were at Lamport Hall today and an evening visit to Harrington Airfield provided two pairs of Grey Partridges (without young sadly) and an adult Yellow-legged Gull on the fields with other gulls. There will be ringing sessions on the scrubby section between the Chippings Compound and the main track on Thursday and Saturday this coming week when access will be restricted.
Stanford Reservoir hosted an adult Yellow-legged Gull, a Green Sandpiper, a Common Sandpiper, a Hobby and a Raven and birds at Stanwick Pits this morning were made up of three Common Sandpipers, a Green Sandpiper, a Yellow-legged Gull and a Peregrine.
Ian found two Common Redstarts at Woodford Halse today just north of the trust reserve in a field hedge close to the Jurassic Way footpath.
A pair of Grey Partridges in the Brampton Valley between Hanging Houghton and Cottesbrooke have done very well with eleven half grown youngsters in tow!
Regards
