Hello
A wet night and morning with some reprieve this afternoon but a cold night ahead of us.
Two Redpoll, four Ravens and a Grey Wagtail were in the vicinity of New Covert, Kelmarsh this morning. A Barn Owl and a Woodcock were at Harrington Airfield today with a flock of twenty-five Wigeon and two Woodcock located at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this afternoon.
A Great Spotted Woodpecker caught in Scaldwell village today was first ringed at nearby Pitsford Reservoir seven and a half years ago, a very good age for this species.
A female/immature Common Scoter was at Ravensthorpe Reservoir this afternoon, visible off the east end of the dam.
Two Egyptian Geese were at The Embankment, Wellingborough yesterday afternoon and today ten Goosanders were on the main lake at Abington Park, Northampton at lunchtime.
At Pitsford Reservoir the juvenile Great Northern Diver was off the dam this afternoon and was repeatedly calling, a sound rarely heard locally. Other birds included two Yellow-legged Gulls (an adult and a first year), a Grey Wagtail and at least one Siskin.
Regards
