Wet and breezy June day

Hello

A day of sunshine, rain and bluster seems to be a typical weather day in June in recent years.

A calling Quail in fields to the south of Clifford Hill Pits this morning was another good find and a Cattle Egret was also there in a field with cattle.

A Grey Wagtail and Banded Demoiselle were on the River Welland at Market Harborough today and a couple of Barn Owls and two Hobbies were hunting the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton yesterday evening.

An hour at the Titchmarsh reserve at Thrapston Pits this afternoon was sufficient time to see two Avocets, a Bittern in flight, an Osprey, a Hobby and two Cuckoos.
