Hi Dave
I had a walk round Clough Bottom today & had much the same as you but can add the following
great spotted woodpecker - 1
redstart - female in mixed flock with min 2 long tailed tits, 1 wren, 3 willow warbler, 1 wren & 1 chaffinch
whitethroat - 1
reed bunting - male and female in felled area with other birds calling nearby
I walked over to Clowbridge after where the only bird of note was a female teal
Also of note today a single swift high over Newchurch this morning and then the same or another bird over Waterfoot this afternoon
cheers Kevin
