Plantsbrook Nature Reserve.









Definitely the coldest morning for a while, on our trip to Plantsbrook, some of us had our coat open all day though and no need for gloves.

Highlight of the day is easy today, not only my first Redwing of the Autumn but two separate flocks of 100+, what a great sight they were appearing over the trees that flank the first pool and heading to the left where Pype Hayes Park is located, so presumably they were heading there especially being as it's always one of their favourite haunts. There were also plenty of song birds when we first arrived there including a large flock of Long Tailed Tits which we followed (or they followed us?) around today.

Birds seen today were, Kestrel, Redwing, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Blackbird, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon, Grey Wagtail, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck and Mallard.

I didn't see much Funghi but then again the floor was covered with fallen leaves and what with it being windy, leaves were dropping to the from the trees all day.
