A pre-work walk round Howe Park Wood. Quite a decent sized wood, but now totally surrounded by housing estates. With a few small corridors of hedges and trees loosely linking it to other woods.
A really impressive dawn chorus, but got the feeling that the wood was full of "garden" birds communting between the wood and nearby estates.
Still, had good views of Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay and Nuthatch.
Strangest sighting was a Moorhen high up in the canopy, moving from tree to tree. Couldn't see any water within 100 yards of the bird. Do they roost in trees? Must look this behaviour up later!
