Thought I'd start a specific thread for this lovely place seen as I've just moved to a house that backs onto it.

A walk from 9-10.30 this morning produced:

800 Wood Pigeon over, incuding a single flock of 700, 3 Goosander, Redwing, Meadow Pipit, Great Spotted Woodpecker, 4 Bullfinch, Nuthatch, 6 Goldcrest, 1+ Sparrowhawk 

Like it already!
