Little Grebe on the lodge with Mallards. Grey wagtail and Common Sandpiper* on the river below the dam. Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Great and Blue Tit, Song Thrush in the woods. In the open field area with the picnic benches it was good to see a male Whitethroat* back on territory, and Sand Martin* over the river.
*3 new birds in the Chorley area (yep, I was surprised by the Sand Martin's!) takes me to 89.
Common Bank lodge and surrounds
