South West Northants
Dave and I headed out today around the SW of Northants. Target was a ringtail Hen Harrier seen yesterday around fields near to Weedon Lois. Sadly, despite have a good search first thing and again mid-late afternoon, there was no sign. We also paid a visit to Fawsley Park, finding nothing more exciting than a flyover Redpoll sp, several Siskins and a Grey Wagtail. We then went to Boddington Resevoir where there were 9 Goosander and a drake Goldeneye. Below are a selection of photos from the day.
