A grand total of 30 people assembled for the walk in the car park of the Druid Arms on a bright sunny morning. Setting off across the fields we first spotted a flock of Common Gulls with Crows dotted round and about. Moving on towards the coffee stop at Bye Mills, we surprised a couple of Roe Deer and then stopped to watch an everflitting family of Long-tailed Tits accompanied by a Goldcrest and a Chiffchaff. Leaving Bye Mills we were serenaded by a very showy Wren and then put up some Pheasants as we passed the Wild Things Farm reserve. Blue and Great Tits were seen amongst the trees with a brief glimpse of a Great Spotted Woodpecker. The river at Pensford was too high and fast for Dipper so we trudged back up the hill to find a Kestrel looking for lunch and showing very well. Chaffinch and a couple of Siskin were in some thickets by the side of the road. Coming out of Upper Stanton Drew we spotted a Raven flying by and heard a Green Woodpecker. 38 species in total.
