Kestrel for the Year

A quick pre-work visit to the Pit Tip showed that the Siskin flock was still present around the back of the Plantation, with a couple of Goldfinch amongst them. A male Kestrel over the Plantation was my first of the year, and a single Cormorant went over towards the Mill Lakes. Three Green Woodpecker were seen near the eastern side of the main Plantation and on the nearby Grassland , and at least one Skylark was heard in the grass.
