Birds for 1st of the month

Hello

Yesterday (Tuesday) and some ringing on the Courteenhall Estate provided forty-five captures with perhaps a Grey Wagtail being the choice bird. Other birds included three Robins, nine Dunnocks, two Blackbirds, singles of Song Thrush and Redwing and Chiffchaff, two Goldcrests, fifteen Goldfinches, a Chaffinch, eight Blue Tits and a Reed Bunting.

Today (Wednesday) there were two Cattle Egrets and a long-staying Red-throated Diver at Eyebrook Reservoir and at Stanford Reservoir there was a first winter Caspian Gull this morning.

A Woodcock was at Harrington Airfield this afternoon plus a pair of Stonechats and several Bramblings. The female Merlin was again in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon in vicinity of 'shrike hedge' plus a pair of Stonechats and with hundreds of Fieldfares on the move.

Regards
