Seeing in October…

My first proper walk in October and a good one! I walked from Bradfield, to Broomhead Res, and back, taking in Agden Rocher, and checking Cowell Flat, Walker Edge, White Lee Moor, Spout House Hill, West Nab - plenty of nooks and crannies where there were plenty of birds to be found.

A good count of 41 species seen on the walk, the highlights including llttle owl, wheatear, raven, common buzzard, snipe, siskin (plenty of these about), grey wagtail, great spotted woodpecker, goldcrest, treecreeper, nuthatch, swallow, house martin, red grouse, linnet and meadow pipit.
