Hello,
Moore Nature Reserve is my local patch, and I have seen some brilliant birds there. There is a wide range of habitats, so the reserve attracts lots of different types of birds, and very interesting bird watchers too (o)<
This is my species list so far at Moore, over the last six months (basically since I started bird watching).
Long tailed tit
Robin
Canada goose
Mute swan
Gadwall
Mallard
Coot
Wood pigeon
Little grebe
Black-headed gull
Herring gull
Tufted duck
Ruddy duck
Buzzard
Moorhen
Carrion crow
Great tit
Heron
Blue tit
Dunnock
Coal tit
Collared dove
Nuthatch
Chaffinch
Goldfinch
Snipe
Pochard
Teal
Wigeon
Cormorant
Lapwing
Shoveler
Great-crested grebe
Greylag goose
Willow tit
Lesser black-backed gull
Pied wagtail
Rook
Kestrel
Jay
Shelduck
Mistle thrush
Barn owl
Tawny owl
Barnacle goose
Wren
Little owl
Kingfisher
Treecreeper
Grey wagtail

Yellow-legged gull
Pheasant
Blackbird
House sparrow
Starling
Magpie
Harris hawk?????????????? Obviously an escape :t:
As you can see, I’ve had a very enjoyable time. :king:
I’ve seen 86 different species at Moore, that’s more than half of my life list so far. :-O
There have been many more birds recorded there, but I haven’t seen them yet.
So it’s worth going to check out Moore for yourself, you never know what you might see.
On Arpley Tip next to Moore, there are meant to be about 20,000 gulls, including:
Caspian
Kumlins
Glaucous
Iceland
Med
All of the common ones too.
And I wonder what else????????????????????????? ;)
The best days to gull-watch at Moore are: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Saturdays can sometimes be good as well, in the mornings, but the week is better, because that’s when the tip is operating.
:t: HAPPY BIRDING :t:
