Sunday 21st April a.m.
It had warmed up to 13°C by the time I got to Dowley Gap where it was good to see a pair of
Greylags with ten goslings and another pair with two goslings the
Pink-footed Goose was with them as well.On the canal a pair of
Mallards had eight chicks and overhead there was a
Great Spotted Woodpecker and a
Chiffchaff was in full voice.It was quiet at the water works with just a couple of
Oystercatchers, moving to Hirst Wood where the Bluebells were stating to flower. Here another
GSW, Treecreeper and
Nuthatch were seen as were a couple of Speckled Wood Butterflies and a
Kingfisher flew along the River.
