We had a lot of work going on in the house during the early part of October so not much birding was done. I got round to resuming on the birding group visit to Moore Nature Reserve on the 16th. Highlights were Kingfisher (very briefly), a single female Goldeneye and a nice flock of Redwing – the first of this winter for me. We also had a tantalising Green Woodpecker, more readily seen than heard at Moore and this was no exception. Beyond that it was a quiet moring but a nice enough walk.<\/p>\n
