On the approach path from Asda to Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, I heard a singing male Chiffchaff and saw a Green Woodpecker.
At Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, I also heard my first singing male Blackcap for the site plus I saw a singing male Chiffchaff and heard another.
The pond just south of the Eastfield Road entrance held 3 male Mallards and a female Mallard plus a Moorhen, both species being my first records for the site.
In addition, I was able to add a further 4 species to my site list on this visit: Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Dunnock and Herring Gull.
