Hello
A calling Quail remains in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton, shifting fields in the general 'shrike hedge' area, and calling particularly well during the early morning when spending some time in the set-aside field. This evening it was in a field between there and Blueberry Farm, Maidwell and although mobile seems to walk and run everywhere and hasn't been seen!
The Spotted Flycatcher family here in the village at Hanging Houghton are already mobile and paid us a garden visit this afternoon!
Three Ravens and several Ring-necked Parakeets were at Cogenhoe village today and six Grey Wagtails and a Common Sandpiper were at Ravensthorpe Reservoir where also a Silver-washed Fritillary.
A Purple Emperor was in a garden at Wollaston today.
A colour-ringed adult Black-headed Gull (2APN) breeding at Pitsford Reservoir (producing at least one chick) was initially ringed south of Dublin in Ireland at Corkagh Park, Clondalkin on 30th October 2025 when it was already over a year old. It was recorded in Corkagh Park in December 2025 and January and February 2026 so that seems to be it's established wintering site.
Regards
Neil M
