A quick walk around the Pit Tip and adjacent woodland before work didn't produce any of the scarcer finches, but was enjoyable, all the same. I started out by looking for a gull roost in Big Wood School's Paying Field, but nothing to be seen. Heading down into the woods below Ted Heath produced an obvious Nuthatch feeding in a bare tree, but this was my first record in this specific area. A group of seven or more Goldcrest were feeding around yews in Ted Heath, and they were joined by a mixed tit flock.
On the Pit Tip Top two Skylark were flushed by dog walker, and seven Meadow Pipit flushed from the main ride. A Cormorant was seen in the distance flying east from the direction of the Mill Lakes, and a Green Woodpecker flew from the Pit Tip Grassland into a tree on western edge of woodland.
