On the approach path from Asda to Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, I saw a Jay and a Grey Squirrel.
At Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, I heard a singing male Blackcap and a singing male Chiffchaff.
The pond just south of the Eastfield Road entrance still held the 3 male Mallards and a female Mallard plus the Moorhen. I also saw a male and a female Mallard on one of the smaller ponds but these quickly flew off.
In addition, I was able to add a further 2 species to my site list on this visit: Starling and 2 fly-over and loudly honking Canada Geese.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Blackcap
