TL 822 943 car park and wonder through the arboretum which
is good for all sorts of song birds. Go over the bridge
to the above field.
Saw a lovely flock of goldcrest earlier this year.

Thetford forest also has crossbills - I'm told - never seen them yet

NB the arboretum is near Mundford, not near village centre of Lyndford.
Yes, I agree .... this is a reliable location during December to March .... there have been up to 50 reported this winter (5 when I visited!).
