But we did see a little grebe, a teal, a pair of ravens in the distance, buzzards, wood pigeons, crows and starlings, nuthatches, a sparrow hawk, a flock of gulls including herring and lesser black backed and, in the woods either a marsh or a willow tit. We didn’t see the barn owl but maybe the blackbirds did as they certainly made a racket at one point.

The red kite, buzzard, greenfinch, mistle thrush, teal, cormorant, nuthatch, robin, blackbird, wood pigeon, crows, long-tailed tit, great and blue tit were not bad either. Didn’t see the raven and marsh tit this time but maybe other walkers will.
