Thank you. Once on site, these instructions proved to be very precise.
Sadly no joy. We were there around 10.45 for half an hour or so.
42 species recorded in a whistlestop couple of hours around Swan Pool and Forge Mill. Sadly not the Brambling, as the 20 mins we were in the Visitor Centre coincided with the guy fixing the roller shutter over the side door by the feeders and the loud metallic bangs weren't proving popular with the birds. Still plenty on and off the feeders though, including several Nuthatches and at least one Willow Tit.
Nothing unexpected or not repeatedly reported on this thread already.
