Troy Wood    1 great spotted woodpecker, 30 wood pigeon, min 15 siskin & min 12 brambling all flying in to roost.  A good finch roost seems to have developed here with birds flying in from around 15:15 to 16:00 to the younger trees near Troy Quarry.  I missed quite a few birds and I am sure if somebody with a better ear than mine watched this site for a while they would pick up some decent records here.

Todd Carr Industrial Estate     pied wagtail roost in place again, with at leat 50 birds in one bush in front of Flexipol.

cheers Kevin.
