Hello
Today was the Bird Club car trips and two car loads made their way in to the big blue yonder to find some birds and other wildlife. Bob Gill and his team travelled over to the Norfolk coast and spent much of their time in and around the RSPB reserve at Titchwell. Interesting birds included a Great Grey Shrike, two Short-eared Owls and a Water Pipit amongst other fare.
The second car-load spent much of the time in north Northants and birded at East Carlton and other sites off the stunning River Welland valley. A short trundle to nearby Eyebrook Reservoir and a little patience paid off with very good views of an adult American Golden Plover. Winter wildfowl were very much in evidence.
Birds in and around the Welland Valley included constant numbers of redpolls and Siskins on the move, a single Brambling, common thrushes and of course good numbers of Common Buzzards and Red Kites. A finish in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton concluded with five Stonechats.
Regards
