Sunday morning and I was up early to meet up with RichardP. We had decided to try and photograph some Brambling and Siskin at a local South Derbyshire country park. We were not disappointed and in glorious sunshine, there was plenty of activity. We had around half a dozen Brambling<\/span><\/strong>, including several moulting males. Only a single Siskin and Lesser Redpoll<\/span><\/strong>, plenty of Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Greenfinch and several Great Spotted Woodpecker. A Sparrowhawk kept buzzing around but fortunately didn’t take anything.<\/p>\n

A couple of year ticks and my list is now on 125.<\/span><\/strong> About on a par with 2015 at this time of year. I’ve not been to Norfolk yet!<\/p>\n
