Thank you so much to Mike who stayed with us recently and has sent us a list of the birds he spotted during his stay in the Forest tipi, together with some beautiful photos…

Buzzard, Wood Pigeon, Raven, Carrion Crow, Jay, Cuckoo, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Blackcap, Pied Flycatcher, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Tawny Owl, Swallow, Redstart, Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Tree Pipit, Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Siskin, Goldfinch, Linnet, Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Great Tit, Wren, Blackbird, Robin, Mistle Thrush, Song Thrush and Goldcrest
And these are the birds he didn’t quite see but heard their song or call…
Chiff Chaff, Willow Warbler, Wood Warbler, Long Eared Owl and Dipper

The owl and the squirrel were captured on film by a cunningly positioned trail camera.

It’s lovely to find that we’ve got such a variety of birds in the woods and meadows!
