Hello
The oppressive heat continues as we progress towards the end of June with potentially cooler temperatures towards the end of the weekend.
Quail records persist with one calling in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton and near to shrike hedge early this morning at 3.45am and again briefly at 5am. Another was subsequently audible from the summit of Blueberry Hill near to Blueberry Farm, Maidwell.
The two Garganey were again on the scrape at Summer Leys LNR as seen from the Pioneer Hide.
A pensive Spotted Flycatcher has been calling in Hanging Houghton village for much for the day.
A dead Tawny Owl alongside the A508 was the second such death locally within the last ten days.
Birds at Stanford Reservoir for yesterday included a female Shoveler with ducklings, possibly the first time this species has successfully bred there. Also three Pochard and a 'reeling' Grasshopper Warbler remain.
Regards
Neil M
