Mute Swan, Shoveler, Teal, Tufted Duck, Coot, Moorhen, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Little Egret, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Black-Headed Gull, Lesser Black-Backed Gull, Common Snipe, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Jay, Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Robin, Dunnock, Starling, House Sparrow, Blackbird and Goldfinch.
A quick visit to Camp Lane Pits produced Kestrel, Lapwing, Canada Goose and Mallard, thus 36 species overall today.
