A lovely morning again for the survey. The highlights were three pairs and a single stonechat and the first flocks of the winter forming with lapwing, starling and linnet recorded.

The return of a number of meadow pipits was good after being sparse records recently. Mammals noted were Chinese water deer, red fox and rabbit.

Birds in this area can be watched from the Northern Loop Trail.
