Withnell Fold

Post by Neil Southworth »

Quick visit to see if the recent rains had replenished the pools, but the answer was 'not by much'. Birds seen were 11 Canada geese with the 15 hybrid geese by the canal with 3 Moorhen on the canal. c30 Mallard were by the fenced off covert and a couple of Pheasant were calling. A Snipe flew through and c40 Stock Dove were on one of the fields. Large flocks of at least 500 each of Starling, Woodpigeon and Jackdaw were across Marsh Lane.
On the reserve were GS Woodpecker, Jay, Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Goldcrest and a small flock of at least 6 Long-tailed Tit
