Excellent views were had of a Dipper diving for food just downstream of the footbridge by Knowles Mill! A splendid and entertaining little bird! Other highlights on the walk were Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Goldcrest ( in abundance and those that were clearly visible were checked, just in case one was a Firecrest but no luck), Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Siskin, Redwing, Robin, Blue & Great & Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, House Sparrow ( at Lodge Hill Farm the only place I seem to see them fairly locally), Redwing and a Marsh/Willow Tit (fleeting views so not a positive ID), Raven and Carrion Crow.
