Summary November 2013
Summary November 2013 Garden November started off quietly in the garden and it seems like, although we do occasionally see Tits, Blackbirds and Goldfinches, the birds are not yet ready to return from their normal habitats to gardens for the autumn.

Birding Group Visit to Burton Mere Wetlands 5th November 2013 The first Birding group visit of the month was to Burton Mere Wetlands on a very windy – but largely dry – day.
