I think it's fair to say that it has been a quiet weekend in the county. The drake Lesser Scaup continues to delight both birders and photographers at Ditchford GP, the Northern Wheatear remains at Clifford Hill GP and at Summer Leys the 3 Glossy Ibis have been showing well. A Marsh Harrier was at Summer Leys and a further two birds at Titchmarsh LNR. At Stanford Reservoir 4 Red Crested Pochards and a Caspian Gull were reported and at Salcey Forest 10 Crossbills flew over the main car park.
I've had a very quiet weekend. Two visits to Harrington Airfield only produced a pair of Stonechats and 50 Golden Plovers, although today it was back to being a birdless zone. I haven't faired much better at shrike hedge/blueberry area despite several visits.
The Northamptonshire Bird Club have their monthly meeting on Wednesday 5th November at 19.30hrs at the Lodge, Pitsford Water. Henry Stanier from the Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire will be giving a presentation on The Great Fen Project. An area just to the east of Northants and one which many of us have visited.
Regards Eleanor
