Hello
In my part of the world the threat of rain didn't come to anything until this afternoon with some very heavy deluges, otherwise it was mild and pleasant conditions with plenty of bumblebees bimbling about and I know others have seen butterflies today too.
A pair of Garganey were bang on time at Summer Leys LNR this morning and there was a Little Ringed Plover there too. The Titchmarsh reserve at Thrapston Pits attracted three Great White Egrets, a Kingfisher and seven singing Chiffchaffs and a Barn Owl was seen at Stanwick Pits.
A Water Rail was seen and photographed at Spring Marsh in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth with a Barn Owl hunting the Hanging Houghton section of the valley this morning.
Two Caspian Gulls presented themselves at Daventry Country Park this morning, a Wheatear was at the west end of Hinton Airfield and two Blackcaps were around a Wellingborough garden. A Blackcap and a Siskin were in a Scaldwell village garden and a Blackcap was caught and ringed at Greens Norton today.
Regards
Neil M
