As I left the car park the first birds I saw were bullfinch and longtailed tit, with other tits and common birds at the feeders.
Along the bridleway were greylags and canada geese and a few stonechats on the reed heads in the distance. At the hide I sat at the window for quite a while watching large numbers of linnets and reed bunting feeding on the ground where food has been provided, joined by blue tits, yellow hammers and goldfinches. At the slightest movement they would quickly retreat to the hedges either side but then return to their feeding seconds later. A kestrel flew by and a pheasant and moorhen made their way along the track towards the hide.
As I left the hide I spotted a siskin but it flew off before I could take a record photo (heard that one before!) .
