A wonderful walk back from Tescos to the village this morning. I checked several local woods for possible Lesser spotted woodpeckers but, as with the last 8 years, no success. However, not a disappointment as got good birds all the time. A marsh tit in Plantings Wood and then a blackcap in East Wood were both pleasing finds. Also, in Muggin's Wood, goldcrests, treecreeper and at least 3 nuthatches.
Yellowhammers chipped from the hedgerows as great tits were the soundtrack to the whole walk. A common buzzard and kestrel near Green Street and coal tit in Muggin's Wood, also.
All in all, 32 species for a 2 hour walk: most enjoyable.
200+ fieldfare with a few redwings near Green Street, flocking out of the hedgerow and on to the field where 4 magpies were already feeding.
