A trip to Northants, firstly to Pitsford Reservoir for the Ring-necked Duck then the nearby Hanging Houghton for the Great Grey Shrike.

Gillingham & Slaves
Luton won convincingly away at Gillingham with a final score of Gillingham 1 Luton Town 3. The away end at Gillingham is made out of scaffolding and has no roof but luckily the forecast for heavy rain did not materialise. We then went to Alexandra Palace to see Slaves after the match. A good day out.
Stejneger’s Stonechat
I went to Norfolk to see this this bird at Salthouse on 27/10/2018. It was widely thought to be a Stejneger’s Stonechat and a poo sample had been collected for DNA testing. The results have now been published and it is a Stejneger’s. Not sure how you pronounce it however!
Rochdale 0 Luton Town 0
Overall probably a bit fortunate to get a draw, but we battled for a draw which was made even more difficult when Danny Hylton was sent off in the second half.
