Mayday Farm – 3rd March 2008

We’d noticed during the last few weeks how the dawn chorus was increasing, so decided to that the opportunity to see some woodland bird whilst there wasn’t too much leaf on the trees. So headed off to Mayday Farm in Thetford Forest. On arrival things were very lively with mixed flocks all over the Blackthorn. Chaffinch was the predominant species displaying very well above the hedge row. Viewing birds drinking in the puddles we saw Brambling, Coal Tit and Great Tit, with Long-tailed Tit and Goldcrest in the trees. Further on in there were medium size groups of Siskin and Lesser Redpoll.
Life bird count: 360 Year bird count: 103 Month bird count: 32
