Spot the Bird

As you are probably aware, our good friend Jimmy Alexander comes in every Wednesday for around 1 hour and does a bit of bird spotting for us. I thought it might be a good idea to put it on here what he has seen and also if anyone else sees anything of a rareity when he is not about. Here are last weeks (24th March 2010) "spot the bird" figures:

• Mute Swan - 2
• Canada Goose - 2
• Mallard - 4
• Tufted Duck - 13
• Moorhen - 2
• Coot - 4
• Oystercatcher - 2
• Black Headed Gull - 2
• Herring Gull - 2 (flyover)
• Wood Pigeon - 2
• Collared Dove - 4
• Pied Wagtail - 3
• Blackbird - 2
• Great Tit - 4
• Jackdaw - 7
• Crow - 1
• Goldfinch - 4

If any of you spot anything else on your travels around the Wetlands, please let me know. We have had some good sitings of other species of late which are worth recording. We are also part of the Bird Atlas, so any rare sitings of birds is good to know.
