We were quite chuffed to have had a couple who were bird experts staying with us recently. They wrote down all the names of the birds they have either heard or seen while staying in one of our remote tipis for two nights at the end of April this year. It’s a fascinating number of 36 species and some of those are on the red or amber list of conservation importance.
Here they are in alphabetical order:
- Blackbird
- Blackcap
- Blue Tit
- Buzzard
- Carrion Crow
- Chaffinch
- Chiff Chaff
- Coal Tit
- Dunnock
- Goldcrest
- Goshawk
- Great Tit
- Great spotted Woodpecker
- Jackdaw
- Jay
- Magpie
- Meadow Pipit
- Mistle Thrush
- Nuthatch
- Pheasant
- Pied Flycatcher
- Pied Wagtail
- Raven
- Redstart
- Robin
