Canons Farm and Banstead Woods, 12th April 2017

A cracking first day back on the patch, which comes in rather handy as it looks like I won't be able to do a huge amount of local birding this spring. The best was a male Redstart, five Wheatears, four Willow Warblers, eight Swallows, 38 Meadow Pipits, the two resident Red-legged Partridges, a Red Kite, two Little Owls, a Canada Goose and a Grey Heron.
