Time: from 7:30 a.m.
Weather: dry, sunny, light wind, 5°C to 12°C
On the approach path from Asda to Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, I heard a singing male Chiffchaff.
At Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, it was evident that the warm weather and southerly winds over the weekend had brought in more Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs and I saw 4 singing males of both species.
I was able to add a further 2 species to my site list on this visit: Grey Squirrel (my first mammal record) and a fly-over Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Blackcap
Chiffchaff
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Robin
Wren
Song Thrush
Dunnock
Jay
Magpie
Woodpigeon
Lesser Black-backed Gull
Grey Squirrel
Here are some photos from my visit:
