21st January 2013 - 27th January 2013

With the harsh weather taking a grip it was a case of get out if & when on the 21st a quick trip up Seeswood Pool produces a 1st winter Dunlin on the ice a nice surprise & the 1st for a few years!! next time out was over to Ladywalk NR & nearby Edison Rd on the 26th  for Firecrest & Siberian Chiffchaff also picked up a pale Chiffchaff at the outflow which wasn't calling & whilst it resembles a Sibe it's best left un-assigned to race (Despite the Voice of Hartshill who claims to be an expert on these birds saying otherwise!!) Photos below of the Firecrest & pale bird at Edison Rd along with a Collybita for comparison!!
