Pittswood Birds

Although the morning started dry, rain soon moved in, making for a dismally dark, depressing day. Very little was found in the poor conditions, with most of the activity being over at the Scrubby Woods, where GOLDCRESTS continue to be around in good numbers, also a couple of COAL TITS and a NUTHATCH were seen within a flock of LONG TAILED TITS. A SONGTHRUSH gave a bit of song, an early bit of practice for the coming spring  :-)

I only spent a short time around the Fields and Greenhouse Grounds, as the rain had turned heavier, unsurprisingly I didn't find that Lapwing for the months list, just flyovers from singles of YELLOWHAMMER, SKYLARK and MEADOW PIPIT were of any note, plus a flock of 40+ GOLDFINCHES and 8 CHAFFINCHES that had gathered on the gravel track of the Greenhouse Grounds, no doubt collecting grit.

.................just these images left to brighten the blog, taken in last weeks sunnier moments, things are looking bleaker now!
