I think I had Marsh Tits on Bookham too, certainly they were a given in Bushy Park. Lesser-spotted Woodpecker was a similarly 'expected' species at all of those sites, plus at the Hogsmill at Ewell. No sign of the regular Barn Owl here, it must have moved on or died I guess (can usually see pellets beneath it's chosen hole in a cliff). I have booted up a couple of Woodcock this week though, so it's not all doom and gloom! Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.com
