Ogden plantation

Checked quite a lot of the woodland this morning. Quite misty but pleasantly cooler than of late. Pretty quiet on the whole other than a foraging 'tit' flock in the area just above the pond, mostly in birch and pine. 

Garden Warbler showing quite well on and off was the best I could do. Definitely camera shy ! In with c 8 Chiffchaff and  a similar number of Willow Warblers (mostly young ones), 1 Treecreeper, 1 Nuthatch, just 1 Blue Tit, no Great Tits with the commonest bird Coal Tits - maybe 15+.

Nearby 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers and Green Woodpecker calling, 1 Jay, 1 Sparrowhawk.

A Kestrel and a Reed Bunting down the side of the golf course

3 Cormorants on the water. Pair of Blackbirds carrying food to a nest site.
