This a.m. , a single grey wagtail by the first stream as you walk down from Saint Marys.

Nuthatch reducing size of entrance to nesting hole with mud gathered from twenty feet away.

Lots of Whitethroat, Blackcap Chiffchaff WillowWarbler, 2 Fly over Goosander, 1 Lesser Whitethroat and 1 Reed Bunting.

no probs, hope you find some

Thanks Alex.I'll keep looking out for the Grey Wagtails

hi marvin
i have seen them along pretty much the whole length of the stream. yesterday i saw them near the top of the stream just below the st marys entrance. i go down there often and see 1 almost everytime, though i think yesterday was the 1st time i had seen a pair, which was nice to see. i didnt hear or see any great spotted woodpeckers down the clough yesterday, which was unusual. did hear 1 in drinkwater though. great to see so many nuthatches around, they are 1 of my favourites.
also noticed a load of new nestboxes have been put up near the st marys entrance, i counted at least 10

Whereabouts did you see the Grey Wagtails,Alex?
I walk my dog through the Clough once a week and have not seen Grey Wagtails this year,though I have seen them in previous years.
Have certainly been aware of a lot of Great Spotted Woodpecker and Nuthatch activity.

plenty about this afternoon, lots of birds pairing up 1st chiff chaff of the year as well as several others calling all over drinkwater. also goldfinch, greenfinch, chaffinch, pair of bullfinch sparrowhawk, kestrel blue tit, great tit, long tailed tit robin, wren, pair of grey wagtail blackbird, jay, several song thrushes about gooseander few nuthatches
