Wet and blustery Sunday

Hello

A blustery and ultimately wet day which provided a couple of fresh birds locally.

The Glossy Ibis was still at Summer Leys LNR but a drake Scaup was a new addition there today. 

A lingering adult Little Gull at Ravensthorpe Reservoir was a good local record for the time of the year and birds at Pitsford Reservoir were a single Great White Egret in the Scaldwell Bay and a Woodcock and two Siskins at Christies Copse in the Walgrave Bay.

A Raven was in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth and two Green Sandpipers and a Barn Owl were in the valley below Hanging Houghton. The Short-eared Owl remained faithful to a private area near Maidwell.

At least four White-fronted Geese were still in the Nene Valley east of Cogenhoe Mill this afternoon and two Grey Partridges and fifty Redwings were at Harrington Airfield.

Regards

It's that time of the year!
