I wont go on and bore you, but i did see tree pipits, a wood warbler, dipper, and a pair of grey wagtails. aswell as many more common birds, including a good look at tree creepers and nuthatches and GSWoodpecker, which im happy about because i never really see these birds.

The wood warbler was a big one for me, took ages to actually locate as it was in the crown of a big oak, but eventually got a good veiw (thats another one off the warbler list ).

Unfortunately no sign of redstarts or flycatchers, but i had a gret ay anyway - would recomend a visit to anyone whose close enough or visiting the area.

thanks again for the help - johns directions are spot on
Glad to help. It's a shame you didn't get the Redstarts or Pied Flycatcher but you did extremely well in getting the Wood warbler. Congrats.

Great place isn't it?

John
