Some of the birds we spotted included the Hawfinch, Stonechat, Raven, Hooded Crow, and Sparrow. We also had the pleasure of observing Wagtails, Finches, Robins, Blackbirds, and Fieldfares, to name just a few. Other species spotted were Great Tit, Blue Tit, Starlings, Goldfinches, and Yellowhammers. Not to be missed, we also saw Whooper Swans, Grey-lag Geese, Barnacle Geese, Mallards, and a variety of ducks including Wigeon, Gadwall, Pintail, Teal, and Tufted Ducks. There were also sightings of Goldeneyes, Cormorants, and Grey Herons, as well as the majestic White-tailed Eagle. Additional species included Lapwings, Little Ringed Plovers, Black-tailed Godwits, Redshanks, and several types of gulls, including Black-headed, Common, Herring, and Black-backed Gulls.
