Hello
The first rain for quite a while didn't amount to much today and it appears that the imminent violent Storm Eowyn is liable to be more disruptive to the north of the UK.
Just two Smew were reported at Eyebrook Reservoir today and at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell today the only bird of note was a Peregrine. Yesterday a female Sparrowhawk was disturbed from a half-eaten Fieldfare kill near there and today it was just feathers left.
Two Barn Owls and two Green Sandpipers linger in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and at least one Raven was in the village, with a Grey Wagtail at the sewer works.
Two Great White Egrets were in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon where the local corvid roost numbering in the thousands was beginning to take shape, and Tree Sparrows could be heard in the bushes at the Old Scaldwell Road Feeding Station.
A Marsh Harrier was noted at Summer Leys LNR at lunchtime today and a Raven was over Kings Wood, Corby.
Regards
Neil M
