News that the new Northants Bird Report was out and available to buy in Oundle pretty much decided my itinerary for me today. Instead of taking the trusty X4 I headed off in the company of Alan Shorrock with a view to doing a spot of birding. The weather was great with sunny skies predominating and if the birds were far from interesting it was at least a good walk!

| Cormorant |
Barnwell CP offered little with just a Chiffchaff and a selection of common birds to enjoy. A walk along the Nene towards the A605 floods added nothing of note while the floods themselves held a reasonable group of Wigeon with lesser numbers of Teal and Shoveller. I was lucky enough to grab the last copy of the bird report in the book shop and it's no surprise it's been selling quickly as it's more than up to its normal high standard.

| Shelduck and Snipe |
On the way back to Corby we stopped at the inflow at Deene Lake where the water levels are high. Six Shelduck had joined the usual Teal and we also saw a Snipe but there was not much else to report. Afterwards it was a trip to the pub and a few beers - Merry Christmas everyone, I hope that you have a good one.
