Scaldwell Birds

Hello,

Today I spent most of my day in a field next to the Scaldwell Village and the results were not as pleasing as I hoped but never the less there was still birds, instead of actually saying star birds; I am going to say every bird I noted, so here it goes: Dunnocks were bursting into song also were Garden Warbler, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Wren, Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Goldfinch, Whitethroat, Blackcap and a lone Lesser Redpoll. I do not have a clue what that Redpoll was attempting to attract!

Other birds were a single Red Kite with a Raven attempting to mob the Kite of its prey, Carrion Crows were sitting on the nest then flying up at any sight of the nearby Sparrowhawk and Buzzards, at one point four Buzzards were over-head, a male Pheasant was displaying in a nearby field, soon after it started to display a Bird Scarer did its usual sound they make causing at least One Hundred Wood Pigeon, Twenty-Five Stock Dove and a Handful of Collard Dove. Today there was definitely a influx of Hyundins with Fifty Odd Sand Martins with lots of Good Numbers of Common Swift, Swallow and House Martin. A pair of Blackbird were busily making a nest in a Garden closely to the Field. In a local copse there was a vocal pair of Juvenile Jackdaw being busily fed by the Parents. There was a very large Tit flock going through the Bushes today with at least Thirty Long Tailed Tits,  a Large handful of Blue, Great and Coal Tits! A family group of Great Spotted Woodpeckers including the young were darting around the copse!

Then a quick look in the Garden provided the usual things of Blackbird, Robin, Dunnock and Starling!

Hope this helps with your Birding experience in Northamptonshire!

Sincerely,

Jacob
