Leen Pastures Feeding Station - Revived

This afternoon I installed the new feeders provided by the Friends of Bestwood group. In an hour and a half around the feeding station there were two Sparrowhawk overhead and in the trees at Leen Pastures, and a single Common Buzzard was flushed from a tree Leen Woodland. All five tit species were present at the feeders with a flock of Long-tailed Tit moving through, and both Coal Tit and Willow Tit visiting the seed feeder whilst Blue Tit and Great Tit preferred the peanuts. Jay and Magpie also showed interest in the feeding station with one or two visiting the table. A late House Martin flew south over Leen Pastures, and at least five Common Snipe were showing on the banks of Mud Island.
