Warm and then wet!

Hello

A Common Redstart in a Wootton Fields, Northampton garden was a great record this morning.

Three Cuckoos and a Hobby were at Irthlingborough Lakes and Meadow reserve this morning.

A Black-tailed Godwit (briefly) and a Great White Egret were in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir this morning and later perhaps the same Black-tailed Godwit was present at Summer Leys LNR.

A couple of Grey Wagtails and two Ravens were in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth this morning.

A stunning Purple Emperor butterfly showed very well between Cottesbrooke and Hanging Houghton today.

Regards

Common Buzzard.

This sick individual permitted a close
approach. Whatever it was suffering
 from has adversely affected both eyes.
