This was my first visit to the site since 8th November 2025 due to other commitments and a trip away to Northern Ireland.
I had a brief visit to the northern section of the site this morning. It was generally quiet with only 15 species recorded but I still managed some notable sightings:
Redwing: at least 20 and possibly many more with small groups seeing flying through
Chaffinch: single female
Starling: at least 50 in various small groups
The Merlin app on my phone also picked up Bullfinch and Firecrest. I have recorded both these species very rarely at the site before so neither of them would be totally unexpected. However, I neither heard of saw them at the time of the Merlin records.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
