Cold birding

Hello

Birds in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth this morning included fifteen Common Snipe, a Water Rail and a Grey Wagtail. A Raven was near Cottesbrooke and two Woodcock were at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell. A single Siskin was near Kelmarsh.

A Bearded Tit was heard calling at Stanwick Pits this morning by the visitors centre and at Upton Country Park/Kislingbury Pits there were two drake Red-crested Pochard, a Barnacle Goose and two Stonechats.

A Marsh Harrier and a Water Rail were at Summer Leys LNR again today and nearby a Brambling was on feeders in a Wollaston garden. 

Yesterday a female Otter and her single youngster were on the River Welland just outside Market Harborough.
