Today I took the same route as on Wednesday, but didn't go further than the so-called Toxic Pond, on Main Drive. It was lunchtime, and the paths were quite busy with walkers. At the corner of the Big Wood School Field were ten Chaffinch, and several Blue Tit and Great Tit. Further along were lots of Blackbird, a couple of Song Thrush, a Wren and a Nuthatch. Near the ponds there was a single Robin, another Wren, and a Treecreeper above the gate that leads onto the main road.
On the way back a small flock of Redwing were in the tops of the tall trees behind the Three Ponds, as were a couple of Jay and a single Dunnock too. Some Coal Tit were in the hedge along the driveway of the large private house, and behind the house there was another Nuthatch in a very large old tree, as was a Great Spotted Woodpecker. Behind Warren Hill another Great Spotted Woodpecker was in the branches of some trees that overhang the gardens of the first houses. A nice short walk on a cold but sunny day, with 18 different species seen in the woods.
