Apperley Bridge to Esholt
A couple of Oystercatchers have returned to the area, three Mistle Thrushes were singing, a pair of Bullfinch and over 25 Goldfinch were seen whilst a Sparrowhawk spooked a flock of Long-tailed Tits.  The high winds have disrupted Rooks and their nest building attempts, but a couple of Jays and a Heron were feeding and a Teal could be heard.
