A couple of hours saunter down Coach Road, along to Sefton Ave and back this morning.
Cool, dry,bright and breezy.
Not a bad outing
(If I don't mention that little rare bark gripper - so I wont).
Birds:-
A couple of Birdies on the golf course, was a good start to the outing - Mistle Thrush.
2 Mistle Thrush were in the field at the back of the church later on - presumably the same birds.
2 Jay one heard the other seen.
Nuthatch 'a plenty' with 7 heard calling, 3 of which were seen.
A Great Spotted Woodpecker heard, not seen, going down the track.
Green Woodpecker(s) called opp. Sefton Ave 3 times and another called higher up the track.
A Heron left the trees at the very bottom of the track near the Golf Clubhouse - a bit of a strange place to see Heron?
Plenty of Woodpigeon and 2 Stock Doves with 3 Mallards overhead.
The 'Brambling' trees opp. Sefton Ave were busy with small birds - 5 Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Starling, Blackbird, Long Tailed Tit Blue Tit, Great Tit - but no Brambling as yet.
A Bullfinch, solitary Redwing and finally A very distant, female Great Spotted Woodpecker were seen as I was nearly back to the car.
As I'm writing this a Kestrel is hovering near our house.
A distant picture - a Mistle Thrush Perhaps
Cropped from pic. above - not much better!
