I went to Summer Leys Nature Reserve, Northants (NN29 7TS), this morning.

A good site for Birding, in my opinion. It has three clean, enclosed hides and two viewing points. I met a few knowledgeable bird watchers, who were only to pleased to pass on their knowledge.

Anyway my list for today is;

Lapwing
Grey Heron
Little Egret
Great Crested Grebe
Moorhen
Green Woodpecker
Cormorant
Coot
Common Gull
Robin
Magpie
Mute Swan
Blue Tit
Thrush
Wood Pigeon

Glad you enjoyed your visit, it's a cracking site where I've enjoyed more than my fair share of good birds. Glad that the locals were friendly but then again in Northants everybody is.

Can't vouch for everyone in Northants but certainly true of Summer Leys. Only wish I still had reasons to visit the area!

Hi Ramps, I'd hit Stanwick as early in the day as possible, it can get fairly busy there particularly at the weekend. Hope you enjoy your visit.

James.
