Sunday 5th July a.m.
Harden Moor
A cloudy start as we paid a quick visit to Harden Moor where the temperature was 14°C, it was good to see the
Sand Martins again as we made our way along the path next to the quarry.We saw a
Green Woodpecker in the distance on a fence post & then saw it pass us flying into some trees.We heard it call several time & re-located it later in a distant tree with a second bird which looked like a juvenile.
Maybe that was why we heard so many calls as they communicated with each other, else where a couple of
Whitethroats were seen one belting out a tune.Others included
Willow Warbler,Blue Tits,Kestrel,Bullfinch,Pheasant & Wren.
Lister Park
On arrival at Lister Park the temperature had risen to 16°C, we headed for the lake where there were good numbers of
Canadas,Tufted Duck & Mallards.Others included
Greylag,Moorhen,Coots with chicks,
BH Gulls & we think a couple of 3rd Summer
Herring Gulls.Up in the wooded area we added
Blackbird,Chaffinch,Robin & Bullfinch.
