Better start building the Ark

Hello

Appalling weather today and the rain seems set to continue for the next couple of days.

Summer Leys LNR at least provides some respite from the weather with the provision of great hides. There today was the Glossy Ibis again plus the smart adult Caspian Gull too and an Oystercatcher.

At Stanwick Pits today the White-fronted Goose flock rose to four again, still using a field just north of the main lake.

A Raven was near Brixworth and sodden birds in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton included the pair of Stonechats and good numbers of finches including several Bramblings.

Regards
