After the storm...

Hello

With a huge volume of water being deposited in to the county over the week-end following the gales and constant rain we are not back to normal yet!

A Great Northern Diver was located on the main basin at Clifford Hill Pits this morning and a Pink-footed Goose was found with Greylags at Wicksteed Park, Kettering also this morning. The Glossy Ibis was seen again at a very flooded Summer Leys LNR.

An adult Caspian Gull and two Stonechats were at Hollowell Reservoir, a female Blackcap was in a Mawsley garden and at Harrington Airfield there were at least twenty-six Skylarks, thirty Golden Plovers and nine Grey Partridges.

A pair of Stonechats were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this morning plus four Bramblings and two Green Sandpipers. The field behind Christies Copse at Pitsford Reservoir continues to attract a flock of about a hundred finches which today included about sixty Greenfinches and a single Brambling.
