Lucky Charm

Another Pit Top visit before work produced much of the same species typically seen in the area. This included a resident Meadow Pipit flock of around ten birds, flyover Black-headed Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull (N and ESE respectively), a female Sparrowhawk hunting around the Plantation, and at least four Green Woodpecker - including two juveniles. At Dawson's Corner, a female Blackcap was seen feeding in the alders by the west entrance gate, and on my way to the bus stop a single group of at least sixty Goldfinch were seen just south of the Pit Tip.
