A much quieter day

Hello

Seemingly a much quieter day in the county today but it started well with a Bittern seen at Stanwick Pits early this morning and Hawfinches being seen with three at Cottesbrooke and two along Longcroft Road, Corby near to the Iron Mountain warehouse this morning. Other birds noted at Cottesbrooke included two Egyptian Geese and two Ravens.

At Stanford Reservoir today there was a Rock Pipit (a much scarcer bird in the county these days), a first year Caspian Gull, a Brambling and three Cetti's Warblers.

Two Bramblings were in Haselbech village at lunchtime and a Common Snipe and a Golden Plover were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon. Five Siskins were noted in a Scaldwell village garden.
