A trip to Watercress LNR this week delivered tick 149 with three Redpolls visiting the feeders on the reserve by the entrance gate. A difficult reserve to park at as all the surrounding streets are permit only but worth the effort of finding it with great views of a couple of male Bullfinch and a Siskin along with the Lesser Redpolls.
Today I saw my first Blackcap of the year when a female visited to feast on the apples I've been putting out for the Blackbirds and Tits. This brought up the 150th tick of the year but regardless of the ticks it was just great to have the species visiting the garden again.
