Cloudy, grey Thursday

Hello

The grey, cool weather continues with a seemingly never-ending amount of cloud overhead, but a dry day.

A meander at Harrington Airfield this morning provided views of a male Peregrine, two Ravens and a hunting Barn Owl. Later a Raven and a Grey Wagtail were in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth and a Redpoll was on garden feeders in Brixworth village.

Today the drake Ring-necked Duck fooled everyone and turned up at Kinewell Lake at Ringstead Pits, found again by that man Nick Parker! A drake Smew remained on the Nene Barrage at Clifford Hill Pits and four Great White Egrets and an Oystercatcher remain at Summer Leys LNR.

Two Great White Egrets were at Stanford Reservoir today and Eyebrook Reservoir hosted four drake Smew and a Scaup still.
