Less of the Chat

Another trip onto the Pit Tip didn't produce either of the chat species today. The most notable sightings were a pair of Reed Bunting on the Pit Tip Top, one of which was a winter/moulting male, and a mixed finch flock feeding in the Plantation that contained at least four Lesser Redpoll.

Also present were two Green Woodpecker, one on the Pit Tip Grassland and one in the eastern side of the Plantation, plenty of Skylark, a few Meadow Pipit, and a single Pied Wagtail that flew over the Pit Tip Top heading south.
