WENDOVER BIRDING - 11 APRIL

I had the woods to myself for nearly 2 hours this morning. Sat in the hide till the rain passed then continued on the Firecrest Trail. Didn't see much till I reached the top - then about 24 SISKINS up high in the conifers by the Go Ape start, with at least one LESSER REDPOLL with them - gosh it's hard to see so high up, against the grey sky. Going down again had several close views of Goldcrest which was nice - is it still a bit early for Firecrest? Last night (7pm) at Wilstone, Little Egret roosting on the bushes in the middle (Sue Rowe)
