We haven’t walked round as often recently so in the reserve the only bird of note was a female Greenfinch at the edge of Little Wood. However, Little Owls have been reported recently on the Pony Wood side of the Long Pads. Also look out for Goosanders on the canal: 4 were spotted, 3 males and a female.
Dan Heywood’s Breeding Bird Survey will shortly be available on the website
Just to note that surveys can be accessed by selecting the ‘Fairfield Reserve Surveys’ link from the menu at the top of the page.
