Year ticks




Had an almost full day out in the field today, so i decided to try and get my year list up to a respectable tally.
Red legged Partridge was a good bird just before Middleton village, But visits to Middleton feeding station and Broomey Croft failed to turn up anything new. The 2 Red Crested Pochard were still present however.
Popped into Coton for the Pintail with no luck, but added Snipe and Water Rail. Also bumped into Bob "the birder" Duckhouse and caught up on all the local sightings and gossip.
Moved onto Eddison outflow for a very productive lunch break where I added Chiffchaff, Grey Wagtail and Goldcrest.
From there it was straight to Ladywalk where Marsh & Willow tit, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Shelduck and Tawny Owl were all added.
All in all a very enjoyable day meeting old & new friends and the list is up to 83.
