Goodwick Moor

Beautiful light on Goodwick Moor this morning.  Seems to be more birds around after the gale, or at least they are more visible now.

Best one was a Firecrest - back of the gorse adjacent the rugby field path (near 2 x stonechats and 4-5 Meadow Pipits).  Several Goldcrests too amongst trees at west and east side of reeds.  Of the more usual species, many Blue Tits and Blackbirds (~50 I'd guess).  Long-tailed tits in small groups (12-20 birds?).  Conservative guess at 3 x water rail (2 x west side reeds and 1 x close to footpath on east side).  Cetti's Warbler - at least 2 singers.  Little Grebe - 1 x opposite the flagpoles near Moorhens.  Two GS Woodpeckers flew over the reeds too.  And a nice bullfinch calling below the pub.

If you're listening - a big 'thank you' to those who manage the reedbeds and maintain the board walk!
