27/03/17Lesser RedpollJordans40D L Cleal
Green Acres Woodland Burial site. My first visit here, nice spot to walk through, plenty of paths. I found the finch flock at the far end of the Boundary Walk where power lines cut across the site. Very difficult to get accurate nos, Probably more Siskins than I saw. Redpolls were the bulk of the flock.
