Woodland Walk

A woodland walk around the eastern edge of the mere can be just as productive for bird species. In recent days I have come across Buzzard , Coal Tit , Blue Tit , Great Tit , Long-tailed Tit , Wren , Goldcrest , Treecreeper , Nuthatch , Chaffinch ,Goldfinch , Greenfinch , Bullfinch , Siskin , Jay , Magpie , Wood Pigeon , Blackbird , Song Thrush , Sparrowhawk and Dunnock . In spring we have the migrants such as Chiffchaff , Willow Warbler , Blackcap , Lesser Whitethroat , Garden Warbler and the added attraction of several species of Butterflies and a few Dragonflies. So why not give it a try on your next visit you might be surprised , who knows you could find our first Flycatcher or Wood Warbler .Its not all about whats on the water , their are good numbers of Siskin around at present .
