Bird News from Robin Newlin
An afternoon visit to the mountain under mild sunshine: birds included various Varied, Great, Marsh and Long-tailed Tits, some seen and some heard; several Eurasian Nuthatches, a small flock of Yellow-throated Buntings, a distant calling Eurasian Jay, a small flock of Eurasian Siskins eating catkins, several Bramblings, a pair of White-backed Woodpeckers energetically flaying dead tree branches, and a single and vocal Hazel Grouse.
