Stonebridge - Horseshoe Point.

6 Song Thrush
25 Robin
1 Greenshank(In Somercotes Haven).
5 Waxwing(In the first hedge at Pye's).
1 Common Redpoll,with 4 Lesser's at Pye's.
1 female Blackcap

1 Woodcock
70 Redwing

Not a bad day's birding considering i made the mistake of leaving the car at Stonebridge,and got the call about the Bluetail when i was at Horseshoe,walked back to Stonebridge in 35 minutes,this surely must be some sort of record,iam now suffering the consequences. :D,but it was definately worth it.


Regards

Hi Steve
Where is the slurry pit?
It would have took me 2 hours to have run that distance.

Hi Geoff,as you approach Horseshoe Point,you will come to an area of trees on your right hand side,about 150 metres from the car-park,if you go into this area,there is a small slurry pond sorrounded by Willows,this is where the Yellow-browed was.It has been there for 2 day's i believe.


Regards


Steve.

I wonder what that redstart looked like...! Big white wing flashes maybe?!
