11:30am. Weather: bright & sunny, cool, still.
Patch visit during which I found an alternate & more secluded path which yielded more species than usual.
South-side:
Woodpigeon, Magpie, Great Tit, Robin, Blue Tit, Crow, Blackbird, Goldfinch (over).
Redwing - several more than previous visits, noisily foraging amongst the foliage.
Blackcap - as I watched the redwings, a surprise grey bird came into view also foraging. A female, over-wintering & the first time I have encountered one doing so.
Song Thrush - flicked away quickly through the understorey then heard singing.
Goldcrest - heard singing in the pines then seen with a Long-Tailed Tit feeding party.
Coal Tit, Jay, Greenfinch (heard).
Great-Spotted Woodpecker - amongst the trees tapping here & there.
North-side:
Wren (heard),

Black-Headed Gull, Common Gull, Starling.
Rememberance Garden:
