A rather wet January (and February)!

Hello

I returned back from a Naturetrek 17 day expedition to Cambodia on Tuesday, my return not helped with an overnight flight followed by a car that wouldn't start at Heathrow Airport...oh well the trials of travel! I made it back eventually and have created an additional page or tab on this blog 'The Best of Cambodia 2024' where images will be displayed.

It has been a very wet and wild winter and even more of this dreary weather remains in the forecast, making it difficult conditions for walking in wet, muddy and slippery conditions.

A Brambling was heard calling in the village at Hanging Houghton this morning and a pair of Stonechats were in the Brampton Valley below the village. A singing Chiffchaff and a Grey Wagtail were in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth and a female Peregrine was hunting at Harrington Airfield.

Three Short-eared Owls were still at Neville's Lodge near Finedon this afternoon and two Cattle Egrets were at Summer Leys LNR.

Regards

Neil M
