The 1st was a glorious sunny day and at least half a dozen Robins were singing in the Littlewood Reserve. Long tailed tits were collecting nesting material there and a Woodcock was roosting. Kingfishers were on New Rhyne and Little…
A Kingfisher was on the Little River on the 1st and the next day 31 Snipe ( and one Buzzard) were counted on the Kenn Moor Reserve. A Mistle Thrush singing by Horsecastle Chapel on the 3rd was most unexpected…
The first of January is traditionally the day when birdwatchers rush around trying to see as many species as possible for their year lists. Not this year though as the weather was awful but on the 2nd, a glorious sunny…
