I didn't manage to get down to Linacre this morning as I was helping a friend out with a survey of a local churchyard. so I popped down this afternnon for a short, hour long walk. Despite the short visit I still managed some good sightings including 5
Linnet feeding on the wall of the top reservoir, a female
Sparrowhawk which spooked the 36
Black-headed Gulls and 4
Goosander (3 males and 1 female), my first since March 2010.
