Grimy Saturday

Hello

Looks like the grimy and dull weather might be with us for a while yet looking at the forecast ahead!

The weather failed to inspire much in the way of new sightings locally today and we were to rely on long-stayers once again.

Five drake Smew were at Eyebrook Reservoir today, the adult White-fronted Goose was with Greylags east of Cogenhoe Mill in the Nene Valley late this morning and this afternoon a Hawfinch was again reported at Cottesbrooke village in a cedar just west of the churchyard.

The drake Ring-necked Duck was not reported at the Titchmarsh reserve today but the Marsh Harrier was still there early afternoon. The Glossy Ibis was photographed at Summer Leys LNR again today.

A Siskin and a Grey Wagtail were again at Kelmarsh Hall, three Woodcock were at Blueberry Farm, Maidwell, a Chiffchaff was in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton, a Redpoll was again on feeders at Brixworth and twenty-five Golden Plovers were over Harrington Airfield.
