Fourteen hardy souls gathered at the Griffin PH car park. After a rainy start, we entered a mature housing estate and were delayed by a barrage of song from unseen birds. We saw the usual Crows and Jackdaws and were then treated to a Red Kite sailing over. We saw various feeders and were delighted to see lots of Blue and Great Tits, Goldfinches and a Greenfinch on them. We then moved on to woodland beside the Dramway with very few birds to see. Stopping for coffee at the flood pond we noted Mallard and Moorhens. Moving on to Goose Green we saw flocks of Redwings. Across Siston Common we came to the brook watching for the resident Dipper, alas, to no avail. A tale of two habitats, lots of little birds in the gardens and not many in the woods and fields, nevertheless Alastair recorded a healthy 27 species. (Thanks to Geoff for leading) Geoff Hardman
