Birding Group Visit to Moore and Moss Side Nature Reserves 22nd May 2012
After missing a couple of the birding group mornings as a result of being on holiday it was good to get back with the group and our morning was at Moore Nature Reserve. The last time we were there as a group we saw a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker excavate a hole in a tree near a pathway so we hoped we might see it again. In fact we turned up a little early and from the car park we spotted a Jay, a Buzzard and we even had time to get a scope on a Whitethroat which was singing in rotation around three trees and showing very well. When we were all collected it had been decided that we should take in a new route around a part of the site that I had not been to before but have often wondered about.
