Hello
With heavy rain for much of the day the local reports were few and far between!
A late report from yesterday (14th) was of a Tundra Bean Goose and nine European White-fronted Geese at Blatherwycke Lake.
A Yellow-browed Warbler was photographed and video'd in a garden in Raunds today but there is no public access at present.
A huge count of seventy-five European White-fronted Geese at Stanford Reservoir is quite incredible and other birds were seven Great White Egrets, two Water Rails, four Goosanders and a Cetti's Warbler.
Two Egyptian Geese were in the Welland Valley below Cottingham and to the south there were still several Corn Buntings between Deanshanger and Wicken this morning.
Two Marsh Harriers at Stanwick Pits provides more evidence of a small number successfully wintering in the Nene Valley and perhaps a pair will at long last breed in the county this year! Fifteen Redpolls and a Redshank were also present.
A Black-tailed Godwit was reported on the Titchmarsh reserve at Thrapston Pits today and yesterday there were two Greater Scaup and two Red-crested Pochard still on Town Lake. A Kingfisher was at Summer Leys LNR.
Regards
