Hello
A colder day with plenty of cloud and even some snow this evening.
A flock of Crossbills were still at Gamboro' Plantation this morning with at least nine birds staying fairly deep in the north-east of the plantation in breezy conditions.
During the course of the day birds in the Brampton Valley fields below Hanging Houghton included one or two Barn Owl(s), a Jack Snipe, four Common Snipe, two Golden Plovers, at least four Bramblings and a calling Grey Partridge.
At least four Tree Sparrows remained in situ at Rectory Farm, Old and a Black Redstart re-appeared at a private farmstead between Lamport and Scaldwell.
Summer Leys LNR provided views of a Glossy Ibis, the now regular adult Caspian Gull and a flock of Siskins. Two White-fronted Geese were at Stanwick Pits this morning, in fields north of the main lake.
A dozen Siskins were on alders at the back of the Nationwide Building Society at Moulton Park, Northampton. A female Blackcap was on fatballs in a Wellingborough garden.
The drake Smew was again at Clifford Hill Pits this morning.
Sixteen European White-fronted Geese were at Stanford Reservoir this evening and other birds were six Great White Egrets and eleven Goosanders.
Regards
