A Flush of Golden Plover

Headed out for a walk around the Pit Tip before work. Didn't pick up anything of note before the double cow gates heading down to Dawson's Corner, but 22 Magpie were together in the trees around there. A group of Feral Pigeon were going in and out of a building at the nearby farmyard, and more were at the Winding Engine House, where I also year ticked Jackdaw up in the Headstocks. A Song Thrush was singing near the Substation, and I got a brief view of two Bullfinch disappearing into the trees.

Walking along the main road a male Kestrel flew over Parkside Pasture, and a large flock of around 150 Golden Plover flew back and forth over the Dell's Gate area of Main Drive - probably flushed from a nearby farmer's field. A Great Spotted Woodpecker was drumming close by, and another at Dinosaur Dell allowed for some footage before it flew off. Heading back, yet another male Great Spotted Woodpecker was at Ted Heath.
