Cromwell Bottom

Courtesy of DM on what turned out to be a most satisfactory walk from approx 0955-1145 hrs. We kicked off with no less that 5 Buzzard in the air not quite together but close enough as makes no difference.

A distant flock of Pink-footed Geese heard calling in flight. 2 singing Chiffchaff the first of which was seen in flight. 4 Goosander, 3 Grey Heron, Canadas. A pr noisy Little Grebe, 1 Herring Gull & several smaller gulls. 5 Cormorant.





Arboreal types were mainly active around the well appointed feeding station. These included 1 Lesser Redpoll, 2 Nuthatch, 8/9 Bullfinch, several Blue/Gt Tit and a few Coal Tit with 3 LTT seen elsewhere. Few Chaffinch & Goldfinch, Dunnocks, Robins, Blackbirds.
1 each Song Thrush, Reed Bunting &  Mute Swan, couple Coot & Moorhen.
