Birding Group Day Out to Marbury Country Park 4th October 2011
We were hoping that today’s birding group visit to Marbury Country Park would be a chance to catch up with those birds who had seemed to be lying low of recent weeks but we walked through the woods at Marbury with hardly a sight of any birds. I spotted a single Nuthatch and there was the odd Blackbird and Magpie and even a Jay was spotted by some but- other than that – the pickings were lean indeed. We did eventually spot a couple of Buzzards and a Kestrel but woodland birds seemed to be at a premium today. We had better luck when we came to Budworth Mere however.
