Walked to the lakes, staying there for much of the morning. Passing through New Fallings Coppice, I saw 2 Chaffinches (possibly the first I've seen actually within the wood!), 1 Treecreeper, 1 Nuthatch and 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker. At Terry's Pool, I saw 1 Goosander, 1 Pochard, 4 Cormorants, 2 Treecreepers and 1 Coal Tit. 4+ Siskins were seen around Engine Pool. Totals of 20 Tufted Ducks, 1+ Kingfisher, 2 Redwings, 3+ Song Thrushes, 2 Goldcrests, 2 Treecreepers and 2+ Bullfinches were also observed at and around the lakes.
