After an extremely windy and rainy few days, it was enjoyable to get out on a calm and sunny day!
There were several bird highlights during my visit to the site this morning: a single Common Buzzard flying over the trees at the northern edge of the site, a single Sparrowhawk flying high and direct over the northern section of the site in an easterly direction, c.10 Redwings flying over the northern section of the site and briefly landing before quickly flying off again, a male Greenfinch in the northern section of the site, 1 or possibly 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers in the northern section of the site and another in the eastern section of the cemetery, 2 Jackdaws flying over the eastern section of the cemetery and a single Goldcrest in a roving mixed tit flock in the wooded area in the southern section of the site.
I saw no mammals at all during this visit.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
