Scant news today

Hello

Very little local bird news today I'm afraid and neither of us had time to properly explore our local patches.

The two Greater Scaup were again on Town Lake, Thrapston Pits today but for the second day the Ring-necked Duck wasn't located. Five Smew at Eyebrook Reservoir included two drakes, viewable from Stoke Dry car park.

Two or three Crossbills were at Gamboro' Plantation again this morning, this small area of woodland is situated on the ridge between Cottesbrooke and Hanging Houghton. At least two Bramblings were around the bird crop areas in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton also this morning.

Regards

Neil M
