Had the wintering female Green Woodpecker along the `old course` valley again today despite the felling of its favourite poplar trees, in the name of progress. Also GS Woodpecker in the valley plus Kingfisher & 82 Teal on the river. M.S.Canal 52 Tufted ducks, single Gadwall, pair of GC Grebes,5 Little Grebes + 2 Cormorants. At last i had my 1st Goldcrest of the year,in the valley next to Barton Airport. Cheers Ian
