Highlight of the morning was undoubtedly relocating the leucistic Nuthatch around the Gerard Close entrance, and managing to photograph it. I had found this bird previously in the Wildlife Garden back at the end of November 2008. It lacks a black eyestripe, and has washed-out colouring (both blue and orange/buff) over the rest of its plumage.
Also of note were 3 singing male Chiffchaff, 2 Green Woodpecker prospecting a nest hole, and a brief sighting of a Sparrowhawk along the woodland border of Warrenhill Plantation. After the FoBCP meeting in the evening, I ticked my first Tawny Owl of the year with a singing male in Lodge Woods.
