A couple of hours in the afternoon got me up and running. Great Tit was the first tick of the year the rest are in systematic order. Most were seen from the hides on the reserve. The remainder in flight and in surrounding fields.

This site I visited over the Christmas period whilst staying with my girlfriend. This will become my secondary patch in 2007 (Site list stands at 33 species) I have found the RXWildlife website which covers this area.Any information about this site (including site boundaries!) and Pett Level will be gratefully received.

Beddington Farm Surrey will remain my regular patch I wonder which site will be the most productive.
