Hirst Wood Walk

                   Met my old mate Chris T. today & had a nice stroll
                   around Hirst & Nab wood and a river walk, lots of birds
                   to be seen and heard but not easy to get pics of any.

                   5 Goldcrest
                   6 Nuthatch
                   1 Kingfisher
                   8 Wrens & 8 Meadow Pipits
                   6 Jay
                   Greylag & Canada Geese
                   6 Pied Wagtail
                   3 Grey Wagtail
                   1 Sparrowhawk
                   1 Oystercatcher
                   2 Treecreepers
                    Chiff Chaffs & Woodpeckers heard but not seen,
                    lots of Blackbirds & Tit family, Gulls & Corvids.

Good spot there Dave, usually Chiffchaff in the Ivy on Ivy Cottage by the sewage works, a Siberian Chiffchaff turned up there a few years ago.

I heard them Brian but none seen, wish I had a talent for bird song because there was some lovely and some strange songs and sounds from the birds and I've never seen as many Jays together as I did in the woods and farmland at the bottom of Nab Wood Cemetery.
