Hello
More dire weather today but at least it was relatively mild! The photographers out there are managing to obtain quality photographs despite very challenging overcast conditions.
A flooded Nene Valley provided some interesting birds today with two Marsh Harriers, three or four Great White Egrets, a Cetti's Warbler and a Chiffchaff on the Titchmarsh reserve at Thrapston Pits.
Four White-fronted Geese were again on fields north of main lake at Stanwick Pits plus five Oystercatchers, sixteen Redpoll and an Otter. Summer Leys LNR provided again for a Glossy Ibis, two Marsh Harriers, a Great White Egret, nine Common Snipe and a pair of Grey Partridge.
Eleven Lesser Redpolls were at Stortons Pits and at least seven others were in birches at the car park of Brixworth Country Park. A Siskin was in the Brampton Valley below Brixworth and at least one Green Sandpiper(s) was calling in the fog at the dam-end of Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon.
The Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon produced two hunting Barn Owls, a pair of Stonechats and a couple of Bramblings.
Six Great White Egrets were at Stanford Reservoir plus five Goosanders, a Water Rail and a Kingfisher and the female Ruddy Shelduck was at Lilbourne Water Meadows reserve.
Regards
