Hello
Yesterday (Tuesday) evening we managed to miss four Whinchats at Harrington Airfield and couldn't see them today either - must try harder!
Up to three Common Redstarts were still present at Harrington Airfield today (Wednesday) but were keeping a very low profile with only one being spotted, the others being vocal from cover. There will be restricted access at this site tomorrow and on Saturday during ringing operations on the belt of scrub around the bunkers.
The Ferruginous Duck was again present at Daventry Country Park under waterside bushes and viewable from the dam and an Osprey lingered. The two Common Redstarts were also present at the reserve at Woodford Halse.
A pair of Spotted Flycatchers at Hanging Houghton are feeding three nestlings and below the village there were at least four Clouded Yellows and fresh Painted Lady butterflies in the Brampton Valley around the planted nectar strips. Another Clouded Yellow was seen at Rushden Lakes today.
Regards
Neil M
