Spring............has sprung in Northowram

What a beautiful day , started off with 3 Greenfinch displaying and calling in the hedge behind the cricket pitch soon followed by Robin , Blackbird , Song Thrush , Dunnock , Wren and Chaffinch in full song .. A Mistle Thrush could be herd belting it out down Chelsea valley. A female Goosander was a nice surprise as were 4 male Siskin.  Male and female Bullfinch , Sparrowhawk display and 2 Long tailed tits in the front garden ,1 LBBGull and 2 Herring Gulls west..... a flock of 15 Siskin and 2 Goldfinch rounded off a good morning walk......................
