It was a generally very quiet visit for birds, both in terms of sightings or even calling or singing. although a briefly soaring Common Buzzard and an extremely rapid hunting Sparrowhawk in the northern section of the site were notable highlights.

In addition, I heard at least 2 calling Redwings and saw 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers, the first along the access track from Larkins Tyres and the second in the northern section of the site.
With regard to mammals, I immediately saw 2 Grey Squirrels at the entrance to the access track from Larkins Tyres and then another in the northern section of the site. As I returned home through the wooded area in the southern section of the site, a Red Fox ran across the track in front of me.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
