Redpolls galore

Hello

Chris Payne and John Boland completed some ringing at Greens Norton today and caught sixty birds using just two mist nets which included thirteen Redwings and an impressive twenty-two Repolls. In addition Chris saw a Little Egret in his Greens Norton garden making use of his wildlife pond! Northants Ringing Group members are planning ringing sessions at Linford Lakes (Milton Keynes) and Stortons Pits this week-end

Butterflies on the wing today near Hanging Houghton included Red Admiral and Comma taking advantage of some November sun and mild temperatures! Two Ravens were in the village.

A Great White Egret was at Kinewell Lake, Ringstead Pits this afternoon and this morning four Great White Egrets and five Cattle Egrets were seen to leave the overnight roost this morning at Stanwick Pits.
