Hello
The first mild day for a long while and of course wind and rain with it! Birds were more vocal and chasing each other around more today and we even have a frog in our garden pond.
A quieter day than yesterday but the shift in the weather provides an opportunity for movement and a male Black Redstart was seen briefly at farm buildings in Creaton today.
The Glossy Ibis was still probing at Summer Leys LNR today and other birds there included a Curlew and two Goosanders.
At least two White-fronted Geese were in the Nene valley below Cogenhoe/Whiston Wetlands again today.
Two adult Yellow-legged Gulls, two Oystercatchers and a Grey Wagtail were by the dam at Pitsford Reservoir late morning.
Three Yellowhammers remain in our garden with the Chaffinch flock and in line with other garden watchers we have been seeing up to three Reed Buntings feeding on seed. Sadly yet another Common Buzzard was a road casualty near Lamport today but on one of the minor roads as opposed to the busy A508.
Regards
Neil M
