Birds of the frost, snow and sunshine

Hello

Even colder temperatures overnight and first thing this morning but in many places some pleasing sunshine was much enjoyed after the freezing fog and hoar frost.

Plenty of common birds were looking forward to their food at Kelmarsh Hall today and a Siskin was heard calling there.

A first year Shag was a good find at Daventry Country Park today and two Merlins were seen today, an adult male at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this afternoon and another seen in flight at Burton Latimer.

An adult Yellow-legged Gull was again in the gull roost at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon.

Robin at Harrington Airfield.

This first year male Sparrowhawk
was sunning himself and preening
in our Hanging Houghton garden today.
