I can’t believe that my last visit to the site was
way back on 22nd September 2021
After my New Years Day visit to Gloucester Park (see here), it was definitely time for
a return visit to Noak Bridge Nature Reserve.
As I left home, I
heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker calling in the trees along the grassy
track down to the main road. On my return home, I saw a Grey Squirrel
and a small group of House Sparrows in the same area.
From the path
from Asda to the footbridge over the A127, I saw a Grey Squirrel and 2 Jays
and heard a singing Song Thrush.
My visit to Noak Bridge Nature Reserve was very quiet with only 10
species of birds recorded, significantly less than the 24 species that I recorded at Gloucester
Park although this site does have the additional benefit of the lakes which
attract water birds.
The only mammal species that I recorded was a single Grey
Squirrel in the trees near the Spanish Steps.
The most conspicuous bird species were the small groups of foraging Blue
Tits and Great Tits plus a few singing Robins.
Species
recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
