Another early, 6.00a.m. start in misty and frosty conditions. 27 bird species were encountered including 4 drumming Great Spotted Woodpeckers along with at least 6 green woodpeckers. I spent time around Harvey's Wood where there is a barn owl present, but I suspect the misty conditions were not conducive to early morning hunting. skylarks were in fine voice (3+) along with yellowhammers, song thrushes (2), chaffinches (6+) and goldfinches (4)
Photos attached show the light conditions, which were no good for bird shots, but a very colourful sunrise, nevertheless. The sunrise over the bench is at Bury Green whilst the ghostly mist over the woods is Muggin's Wood
