New Year's Eve

Hello

I have been lucky enough to be away for eight days and over the Christmas period working as tour leader in the Algarve, Portugal. I have created a page or tab entitled Algarve at Christmas 2024 where images from the trip will be posted.

Today and the last day of the year sees the Glossy Ibis remain at Summer Leys LNR and a single Hawfinch was seen at Blatherwycke Churchyard at lunchtime.

At Stanford Reservoir today there was a Caspian Gull, two Great White Egrets, a Goosander and a Stonechat.

Ravens were at Scotland Wood and Hanging Houghton today, a Redpoll was at Scotland Wood and a single Tree Sparrow was at the Old Scaldwell Road Feeding Station at Pitsford Reservoir with an adult Yellow-legged Gull between there and the causeway.

Two Green Sandpipers and a Grey Wagtail were in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and the Blueberry area near Maidwell provided sightings of two Woodcock, a female Peregrine and four Ravens.

A huge thank-you to all the readers and contributors to this blog during 2024.

Happy New Year!
