There's the Northants Bird Club:

As to sites around Corby, there's a lot of good woodland in Rockingham Forest. Wakerley Great Wood used to be good but it's a while since I've been there. Fermyn Wood sometimes seems to get Hawfinches, particularly in winter. Glapthorn is good for Nightingales. Kings Wood in Corby used to get a good range of woodland species, but it's even longer since I've been there.
Blatherwycke Lake is a decent site for raptors, waterfowl (including Mandarin) etc. You're not too far from the Nene Valley sites e.g. Thrapston and Stanwick Gravel Pits and also quite near Eye Brook Reservoir, all of which are very good.
