Hello
Two Short-eared Owls and two male Wheatears were at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell this morning and a female Wheatear and about fifty Fieldfares were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon. Four Siskins remained at Scotland Wood on the Kelmarsh Estate and at least six were coming to a garden on the east side of Northampton.
A Cattle Egret was still at Summer Leys LNR today and summer migrants are now becoming more widespread in part helped by the southerly winds. A singing Common Whitethroat was reported from near Wellingborough Railway Station today
An Osprey was seen in flight between Loddington and Orton this morning and the best of the birds at Stanford Reservoir amounted to a Common Sandpiper, three Goosanders, four Little Egrets, a Kingfisher, a Cetti's Warbler, five Yellow Wagtails, fifteen Swallows, six House Martins and ten Sand Martins. A female Wheatear was at Borough Hill Country Park, Daventry this morning.
An Osprey flew south over the dam at Pitsford Reservoir this evening where there were also an adult Yellow-legged Gull, a Raven, fifty Sand Martins, six Swallows, four House Martins and two Yellow Wagtails.
Regards
Neil M
