Hello
Another cold, grey day with spring inching closer!
The female Ring-necked Duck was again at Ravensthorpe Reservoir today, just south of the causeway, with a Redpoll present too, and birds at Stanwick Pits today included three Great White Egrets and four Redshank.
A Barn Owl was seen between Ecton and Earls Barton and another one was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton again. A Water Rail, a Grey Wagtail, a Chiffchaff and a Redpoll were in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth and the adult Yellow-legged Gull remained off the Sailing Club at Pitsford Reservoir. A Grey Wagtail overflew Hanging Houghton village.
A period of ringing in a garden on the north east outskirts of Northampton provided twenty-seven captures of ten species which included eleven Goldfinches, a Siskin, a Chaffinch, a Greenfinch, a Starling, a Blackbird and five Reed Buntings.
Regards
