[QUOTE="Fozzybear, post: 1709148, member: 69297"] Thanks Val, glad to be help. |:D| Was bizarre to be showing another birder around my little patch really as it's just a little stretch of river near the town but telling Dave about the different birds I see at different parts was great as it brought home how much I've seen there. Entering into dangerous listing territory I know that over the last year or so between Barnes Mill and the town centre (no more than a mile of river) I've seen: [LIST=1] [*]Blue Tit [*]Great Tit [*]Long-tailed Tit [*]Robin [*]Goldcrest [*]Reed Bunting [*]Reed Warbler [*]Sedge Warbler [*]Skylark [*]Blackcap [*]Chiffchaff [*]Whitethroat [*]Goldfinch [*]House Sparrow [*]Blackbird [*]Stonechat [*]Starling [*]Fieldfare [*]Redwing [*]Song Thrush [*]Meadow Pipit [*]Magpie [*]Carrion Crow [*]Jackdaw [*]Jay [*]Green Woodpecker [*]Great Spotted Woodpecker [*]Lapwing [*]Snipe [*]Jack Snipe [*]House Martins [*]Swifts [*]Pied Wagtail [*]Grey Wagtail [*]Common Tern [*]Black-headed Gull [*]Common Gull [*]Lesser Black-backed Gull [*]Herring Gull [*]Canada Goose [*]Grey Heron [*]Little Egret [*]Cormorant [*]Tufted Duck [*]Mallard [*]Gadwall [*]Goosander [*]Mute Swan [*]Little Grebe [*]Coot [*]Moorhen [*]Kingfisher [*]Kestrel [*]Sparrowhawk [*]Collared Dove [*]Woodpigeon [/LIST] plus probably some others that I can't remember (I think I've seen other birds here but none I can wholeheartedly say were definitely in this little stretch). And also Bats (daubenton's I think) and I've found signs of Badgers, Muntjac Deer, Moles, Foxes and 'possibly' Water Vole and Otters. Really can't be sure at all about the last two though as my animal signs knowledge is very shaky - have found small prints near the water (though indistinct and couldn't get near them) and what may have been a otter spraint trodden in by someone's boot but very unsure about those. Another shot of the Tufted Ducks here: [url]http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=289797[/url] and more from the day including the photos I took at Warley Place on my flickr pages: [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulforsdick/archives/date-taken/2010/01/21/detail/[/url] [/QUOTE]
