I did a video of today's birding session and you can view that here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sZVZJQij5oQ&feature=channel_page
The tawny owl in Whites Wood was in its usual spot and giving good views. That bird is such a celebrity I wouldn't be surprised if it appeared on the local news one night.
Several sightings of a single kestrel, hovering and in flight. Just one common buzzard, a distant soaring bird.
Several black headed gull in flight and also on the Island Pool. Single herring gull in flight.
Other birds included: nuthatch, greenfinch, bullfinch, goldfinch, coal tit. Heard a raven calling when I was by the Spring Pool but didn't get to see it.
