Whites Wood, Baggeridge Country Park (November 29)

There is a video of today's birding session that can be seen here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7vmTcp0SVYM&feature=PlayList&p=597AA5DC5989B14F&index=0

Good view of a roosting tawny owl. Although the bird has been a regular there for some time, and become a local celebrity in the process, it's still great to see it. I scanned other spots where I have seen roosting birds before but none produced the goods.
Several sightings of nuthatch, no doubt some the same bird. Other birds included: bullfinch (4 male and female birds), jackdaw, goldfinch, greenfinch, goldcrest, house sparrow (several male and female), great spotted woodpecker (male).
