Hi

Six European White-fronts were still present on the flooded fields at Frampton Marsh this morning. Viewing best from the public footpath that runs around the site. Also a Brambling over, and another Brambling at Roads Farm.

Presumably the same 6 European White-fronts back on the flooded fields at Frampton Marsh today. No idea where they have been the past 2 weeks or so. Also 3 Hen Harriers present in the area recently.

Cheers,

PF.

Weds 3rd.

The 6 White-fronts are still on the flooded fields south east of the road. They are always distant from here, and best viewed by walking around the site.

Also today:

2 Snow Buntings flew over before landing on the ploughed field to the south.
Merlin - large female being seen off by the local Kestrel.
400+ Fieldfare along the hedgerows

Hi

8th Dec.

The 6 White-fronts are back on the wet grassland at Frampton after going missing for the weekend. Currently viewable from the road (8.45am) but will probably move further into the site as the day goes on.

Forgive me for breaking the French - Goose monopoly, but our friends have departed again.

At Frampton this morning;
Short-eared owl - 1
Marsh harrier - 1

Guess what.....

The White-fronts are back and are currently on the ploughed beet field infront of the office at approx TF350385.

Also at Frampton Marsh yesterday was a flyover Lapland Bunting.
