Hello
A cold but bright and beautiful winter's day certainly brought lots of people out and about in the countryside.
It was Clifford Hill Pit's opportunity to host a drake Smew today as these wandering sawbills check out local waters leaving at least four at Eyebrook Reservoir.
The two White-fronted Geese remain with the local goose flock at Ravensthorpe Reservoir and Stanford Reservoir was good for a Jack Snipe, a Woodcock, two Common Snipe, two Great White Egrets and an Egyptian Goose.
Four Stonechats were near Whiston Lock this morning, two Cattle Egrets flew north-east over the layby pit at Stanwick Pits also this morning and another Cattle Egret was at Blatherwycke Lake where there were also a dozen Egyptian Geese.
At least two Bramblings were still in a weedy field between Wakerley and Fineshade near the A43 cross-roads with two hundred Linnets and over a hundred Chaffinches.
In the Brampton Valley below Brixworth there were three Ravens, up to fifty Yellowhammers and two Grey Wagtails and below Hanging Houghton the tally came to two Barn Owls and two Green Sandpipers. Two Ravens were at Walgrave with one in Hanging Houghton village and two Short-eared Owls were still on private land near Maidwell.
Regards
