This news page aims to provide up-to-date news of all interesting and uncommon birds as, and when, they occur in Northamptonshire. I will endeavour to update this page regularly but I do not guarantee any specific update frequency. News and information may be received from a variety of sources and it is published in good faith.
Northants Birds will not in any way be held responsible for incorrect or inaccurate information which may appear here, or for any inconvenience caused as a result.
All reports remain unauthenticated until acceptance by the Northamptonshire Bird Report Records Committee. Records are added in chronological order (by the time and date of observation) so be sure to scroll down the whole table for the full detail. All birders are welcome to email their sightings, corrections or updates to alibone.mike@gmail.com and are encouraged to supply as much information as possible (time of observation, directions to area of sighting, Google Maps reference/OS grid reference, etc). For the more uncommon species, observers may also like to ‘cc’ their email reports to the national bird news and information services Birdguides and Rare Bird Alert.
