Yesterday was the Sherwood Habitats Forum, hosted this year at Clumber Park. After a morning of talks and presentations, we had a stroll round the western end of the lake looking at management issues, which produced 10 Mandarins from the Ornamental Bridge, a fly-over Brambling, and several Siskin. No Hawfinches though.
Today, I had a morning at Rufford Colliery looking at how the heathland restoration there is progressing. Good birds included 2 Ravens, 12 Lesser Redpoll, a couple of Snipe, and plenty of Bullfinches. On the way back into the office I swung via Lowdham, ticking the Glossy Ibis without stopping!
