A firecrest was a fantastic surprise on our walk out west, in woodland near Down Barn, on West Ginge Down. Manic as ever, it foraged one moment high in the canopy and next moment on the ground. A goldcrest was also present.
February 12th
My first walk in the BB area for some time brought a male lesser spotted woodpecker - its crown a nice splash of red in the leafless woods.
