A great day for garden birds with the first definite sighting of a Great Spotted Woodpecker, which was seen in flight heading east in front of the woods at noon. Shortly afterwards, at 12:15pm, a skein of 30-40 geese were flying NNW over the Pit Top area. These were later identified as Pink-footed Goose and confirmed by a report on the Notts Birders Website, where they were seen flying west over Arnold. Four Goldfinch were on the feeder around 2pm, and a Song Thrush and a Fieldfare were in the oak tree at dusk.
