Warmer at last

I decided to help clear up some litter and took my binoculars as well, on Cuerden. Starting at Stag Lodge I saw bullfinch, crow, mallard and heard song thrush singing. After this to Kem Mill. Common Gull, blackheaded gull, great spotted woodpecker, five jays, several goldfinch, mistle thrush and then saw the dipper just down stream of the road bridge. The Barn was my next port of call to fill up the bird feeders.They continue to be used very well

Bullfinch, nuthatch all the usual tit species, collared dove, aggressive robins, green finch, dunnock and blackbird. Later in Icehouse Wood several siskin, two woodcock and a skein of pinkfeet flew over
