A wet November day.

Hello

After a dry start today deteriorated into a very wet day with few sightings during the latter part.

Bramblings were prominent this morning with several at Harrington Airfield, at least ten at Blueberry Hill and six at Lamport Hall.

The Marsh Harrier was still at Summer Leys LNR today and has been providing some excellent photograph opportunities in recent days. An Otter remains active their too with sightings from Pioneer Hide the last couple of days.

Stanford Reservoir produced some good birds again today with two Mediterranean Gulls in the roost, two adult Yellow-legged Gulls, ten Red-crested Pochard, a Great White Egret, two Kingfishers, a Cetti's Warbler and three Lesser Redpolls.

An adult Yellow-legged Gull was by the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir today, a Dunlin was at Clifford  Hill Pits and four Cattle Egrets were spotted flying over Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadows reserve this morning.

A ringing session is destined to take place at Harrington Airfield tomorrow when access to the bunkers and scrub between the chippings compound and the main concrete track will be restricted.
