Hello
A much mirkier day than predicted and it certainly took a while for the sun to shine in some parts of the county.
A male Stonechat, a Great White Egret and a Grey Wagtail were somewhere in the mist north of the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir this morning.
The two Glossy Ibis were still off the Embankment at Wellingborough late this morning and the wing-tagged Marsh Harrier was again on view at Summer Leys LNR.
The Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton in the fields leading up to Blueberry Farm within the parish of Maidwell provided a 'ringtail' Hen Harrier, a Short-eared Owl, the female Peregrine again, this time taking a Teal in mid-flight, a pair of Stonechats, three Crossbills at Gamboro' Plantation, small numbers of Redpolls and Siskins on the move in the mist and only about four Bramblings.
A Woodcock was at Harrington Airfield today and there were reasonable numbers of winter thrushes present. A Grey Wagtail was in our garden at Hanging Houghton.
The two Greater Scaup were again on Town Lake, Thrapston Pits today.
At least four Smew were at Eyebrook Reservoir today and the nine Great Northern Divers were again visible from the Fishing Lodge at Grafham Water.
Regards
Neil M
