Late spring passage.

Hello

An early morning jaunt in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning provided a Whinchat at shrike hedge, two pairs of Grey Partridges and a Barn Owl.

Summer Leys LNR attracted a Marsh Harrier, seven Black Terns, the drake Garganey, a drake Red-crested Pochard, a Grey Plover and two Greenshanks.

Clifford Hill Pits pulled in two Turnstones and two Ringed Plovers this morning.

Just over the border and Eyebrook Reservoir hosted two Black Terns, two Little Gulls and a Sanderling.

With a good aurora borealis showing last night in the county it looks to be on the cards for a repeat performance tonight!

Regards
