whats the best bird have you seen there?

My best sighting would be the four little grebes a couple of weeks ago. Others I've seen there are Great Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, 6 bull finches, 20+ goldfinches, 25+ long tailed tits, Loads of Great tits, Blue tits, coal tits, dunnocks, blackbirds, goldcrest, kingfisher. Firecrest have been seen there but not by me (yet!) You get the odd Heron, but not regular, Obviously coots, moorehen,swans, tufted duck, mallards, cormorants... I could go on...
Plenty to see then, although I should mention that the water bird population is quite low. The've suffered mink problems in the past, taking young birds and eggs. Still well worth a visit!

Hi Debbie

You may want to start a new thread now in the "Birds" forum, about the birds you see, rather than in the "Hello" thread. That way you will no doubt have a wider audience, and more replies!

Cheers
