The low sun made it tricky looking out of some of the hide windows but the children knew not to look out of these with their binoculars. We had hoped that a Kingfisher might come and perch on one of the branches overhanging the ponds around the hide, but it waited until later in the day to visit when we had gone! However, we did manage to add 4 new species, bringing our total count for November to 36.<\/p>\n<p>25 different birds were seen today (new species in bold):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Coot, Moorhen, Black-headed gull, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Pied Wagtail, Robin, Reed Bunting, Coal Tit,\u00a0<strong>Willow Tit<\/strong>, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Bullfinch, Dunnock, Blackbird,\u00a0<strong>Redwing<\/strong>, Nuthatch,\u00a0<strong>Sparrowhawk\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Carrion Crow<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Children, I\u2019ve really enjoyed taking you bird watching, your enthusiasm shone through!
