A trip to Woolmer to check if anything had dropped in started with a good look at all the birds on the pond, with good numbers of Heron, Little Egret, and Lapwing visible.
As I was going around the pond, two geese swam into view- Greylags, a species that I've not seen here for a good while.
After a check around the cottage, I checked the large corvid flock that was on the field, with large numbers of Rook, Jackdaw and Crow all present. They soon flew up into the trees, and with nothing else about, I headed towards Range 1 for a good look in the forest to see if anything was there.
A long stint in the woods didn't produce much, but the Spotted Flycatchers were about again, along with a few Goldcrest, Treecreepers, and a Leucistic(?) Crow.
After making it back to the pond, I biked all the way round to the furthest range to see if anything was visible on the pond from there. A Canada Goose was with the Tufted Ducks, and more Little Egrets were visible.
With not much else about, I found a spot to watch the pond for a while, put the cricket on (what a win!) and waited to see if anything else might show. Before too long, at least two Hobbies were out and about, zipping to and fro, but still nothing of note, so I decided to head back home.
Another nice time back at Woolmer, with a few cool species seen. With not much else about at this time of year, I expect I'll be visiting Woolmer quite a bit!
