Suffolk – Combs Wood – 20th February 2011

Watch out for: Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Marsh Tit, Coal Tit, Treecreeper

More woodland habitat this weekend, with a trip to one of Suffolk’s oldest woods.  It was very wet and dull but we did manage to see a few of our target species flitting around in one quiet corner.

A good mixed flock containing Long-tailed Tits, Coal Tit, Willow Tit plus Great & Blue.  Then, a bit adrift from the flock, a pair of Treecreepers, a single Goldcrest & Wren.  Finally, when walking out, a Greater-spotted Woodpecker flew out and over to an adjacent copse.
