Linda and I drove up to the top of the Heath to unlock the 'Little Church on the Hill': it was cool and overcast, so we didn't expect to see anything unusual: nevertheless, we had bins and camera with us!
First surprise was a Great Spotted Woodpecker, initially high in one of the trees in the copse, subsequently bashing its brains out on a telegraph pole by the Hall! Then, driving slowly back along High Noon Lane, we stopped to scan the temporarily-flooded field corner, right by the road. To our surprise a Green Sandpiper was feeding along the edge, occasionally throwing back its head to call. Other birds included Red Kite, Stock Dove and Blackcap.
