After the aborted early morning visit yesterday, I did get out early this morning.
Whilst it was very cold, it was a productive visit and bird song was much more noticeable and plentiful than yesterday afternoon.
I saw 4 singing male Chiffchaffs and 4 singing male Blackcaps with at least a further single singing male of each species heard but not seen.
In addition, I initially heard and then eventually saw a Green Woodpecker and I also heard a calling Great Spotted Woodpecker.
I also saw a single Grey Squirrel and sadly came across a dead Red Fox.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Blackcap
Chiffchaff
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Robin
