Croston Corn Mill and Syd Brook Lane

[Paul Whittaker]

House Martin near the Corn Mill is a Year Tick for me (98).
Goldcrest singing in Croston Big Wood, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Blackcap all in the area too plus usual woodland species.
Yellowhammer along Syd Brook and several Swallows.
Single male Mandarin on the weir pool with a mallard family and female Goosander.
Off to Madeira for a week tomorrow hoping for Zino’s Petrel, Trocaz Pigeon and Madeiran Firecrest.
Good luck to all those taking part in the 24 hour bird race!
