Croxley Common Moor

A morning visit to Croxley Common Moor in search of a reported Ring Ouzel drew a blank with myself, Joan Thompson and Lee Evans all grilling the moor to no avail. Geoff Lapworth was up early and had observed the bird briefly at 08:00 hrs feeding on berries on the canal side of the River Gade.
A list of species observed during my visit as follows;
Cormorant (6 over), Grey Heron (1), Little Egret (1), Mute Swan (2), Moorhen (4), Black-headed Gull (2), Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Green Woodpecker (3), Great-spotted Woodpecker (1), Swallow (2), Meadow Pipit (2 over), Wren, Robin, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Lesser Whitethroat (1), Blackcap (3), Chiffchaff (4), Blue Tit, Jay (2), Magpie, Carrion Crow, Starling (5), House Sparrow, Chaffinch, Greenfinch (5), Goldfinch (23), Reed Bunting (1).
