Weather: dry, cloudy, light wind, 10°C to 11°C
I had a short walk around the site this morning, more an exercise trip rather than a wildlife watching and photography trip.
However, whilst generally quiet in very grey and cloudy conditions, it turned out to be unexpectedly rewarding.
In the northern section of the site, I heard a calling Redwing but initially located a Fieldfare, this being my first record of 2023 for the site on the penultimate day of the year. This record brought my total for 2023 to 47 species, 2 more than 2022. In the same area, I did eventually see 2 Redwings.
I additionally saw a Green Woodpecker in the northern section of the site, a Great Spotted Woodpecker on returning to the wooded area at the end of the Larkins Tyres track and a Goldcrest in the wooded area in the southern section of the site when walking home.
Site totals for 2023 to date (2022 totals in brackets):
Stay safe, stay well, stay strong, stay connected with nature
