A 6.00am start along the ridge footpath to Winding Hill and then returning via the golf club and New Road. In all, 29 species of bird recorded with 3 black headed gulls, 500+ fieldfares, 1 early common buzzard and 200 starlings being notable. Also on view, the dunnock shown above, several redwing and 2 red legged partridge.
However, the highlight of the walk was encountering this huge paw print in the mud near Bush Wood. The coin is a standard £1.00, so this gives an indication of the size of the claws! I expect it is just a very large dog, but have forwarded this photo to experts. Be interesting to see their prognosis.
