12th December - A few birds to be seen around the woodland in very cold icy conditions included a small Tit flock consisting of Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, got some nice views of a feeding Goldcrest oblivious of my presence, hovering around the leafless twigs, not sure what it was feeding on in these freezing conditions, a few pairs of Great Tit seen further around the woodland trails, a few Robin, Blackbird and Song Thrush scattered around the trails, Corvids represented by a single Jay, Magpie and a Carrion Crow, A Great Spotted Woodpecker could be heard calling, but not seen, a Ring Necked Parakeet flew over the Bronze age burial mound.
Grey Squirrels seemed very prominent around the woodland.
