Mild February day

Hello

A much milder day with just a little rain first thing and plenty of birds singing and pairing up!

The male Bearded Tit showed well again at Stanwick Pits with a vocal Cetti's Warbler and Water Rail near to it too.

The female Ring-necked Duck and a female Scaup were at Ravensthorpe Reservoir today and a first year Caspian Gull was on pools alongside the A5 by the DIRFT3 development site near Lilbourne.

An Oystercatcher was at Summer Leys LNR this morning and two Ravens were at Kelmarsh with a Grey Wagtail again at Hanging Houghton and a Barn Owl in the Brampton Valley below the village this evening.
