New Mill ornithology

We’ve been in the New Mill about 18 months and a reasonable sized list of birds have been spotted. The habitat is watermeadow, lowland river with quite a few pollarded willows. Here’s the list which excludes all those small brown unidentifiable ones:

Grey wagtail, kingfisher, little grebe (dabchick), cormorant, mallard, moorhen, pied wagtail, chaffinch, yellowhammer, blackbird, mistle thrush, song thrush, wren, wood pigeon, greater spotted woodpecker, fieldfare, white egret, heron, swallows, swifts, housemartin, sparrow hawk, kestrel, common buzzard, red kite, little owl, starling, house sparrow, carrion crow, rook, blue tit, great tit, coal tit, longtailed tit, goldfinch and pheasant. Plus the Audley chickens.
