Spring's On The Way

 A pleasantly mild and sunny morning which had a distinctly springlike feel to it that tempted me into risking the vagaries of the Stagecoach timetable and popping along to Wellingborough. My riverside stroll took me along the Nene as far as Chester House Lake and if the birding didn't deliver much of note at least I enjoyed the exercise.

Reed Bunting.


I knew the Glossy Ibis was favouring Summer Leys but hoped that the Cattle Egret might put in one of its occasional appearances to the area - it didn't! Reed Buntings were in good voice as I walked along the Embankment and were joined by at least one Cetti's Warbler. A male Stonechat showed briefly before disappearing from view, I didn't see anymore on my travels. In fact very little else of note was recorded apart from the regular Great White Egret and I made my way back into town where I caught the bus back to Corby.
