Saturday 15th June a.m.
A bright sunny start to the morning with a temperature of 13°C at the Coppice Pond on the St Ives Estate near Harden.It was good to see a pair of
Mute Swans with five Cygnets, others on the water were
Coots,Moorhen,Mallards and a pair of
Tufteds. A
Cuckoo was calling fairly close by as I decided to take a walk through the wood to the Golf course at the top of the estate.On the way seeing
Robins, Blackbirds, Song Thrush, Blue Tit, Nuthatch, Treecreeper and hearing
Chiffchaff.
At the top of the estate the land opened up and across the fields I saw
Lapwings, Pied Wagtail, Swallow and
Chaffinch.At the edge of the wood a
GSW was showing well as it began to cloud over and feel cooler.I made my way back down to the Coppice Pond where there were now fifteen
Canadas. I paid a visit to the hide which came up trumps after a long lean spell with a
GSW on the feeders.
