Father and Son Time

I took my one year-old son for a walk (push) around the woods this afternoon, to play in the park and see what was about. A male Sparrowhawk was hunting over Hanging Heath and slowly drifting towards the Pit Tip. At the Khalsa Wood I had a single Treecreeper, and a Nuthatch was knocking about in the trees. I met up for a chat with Steve - the ranger - who'd just returned from a bit of birding at the Mill Lakes, but all was quiet, except some female Pochard and a female Shoveller, which I'll be trying to get in the next few days.
