Glad you had a nice time there

Very good list in just 40mins, that - particularly the treecreeper and wagtail. I've never seen a WT in a wood before; I take it it was pied?

Did you take a camera??

Excellent tally of birds there. I love Treecreepers but hardly ever see them where I live

I'm guessing the wagtail wasn't actually in the wood but around the hotel in car park or surrounding lawns.

I saw a pair of Grey Wagtails in a tree recently. I don't know how long they were there though. I couldn't linger too long - a couple of policemen were right behind me and me and my shopping trolley were in their way, and I'm sure I was looking dodgy. But I'm sure they were Grey Wagtails.

I have just seen a thrush in my garden, first one I have seen for several years, he didn't stay for very long though

You got it in one Ashena5 it was on the edge of the hotel grounds before the wood or this side the fence. It was a pied Wagtail. I forgot to mention a Blue tit was seen aswell.My friend who I was with was Excited as she had never seen a Woodpecker before so that was a first for her.

Didnt take the camera with me as it was all about having a swim in the spa and steam rooms plus the Heat and Ice pool.
But the birds would have been a bit to far away for photos plus it would have been through glass.
