RETURN TO THE VALLEY

meeting berni at the grove end and traveling down to meet martyn at stoddy,nice change to be back after spending most of the winter in the harbour,i did not need that many birds to add to my valley list siskin and redpoll was pleasant add,with penduline being relocated yesterday by dan,i had every hope of adding it,not a new valley bird for me,as we was walking around the broadwalk berni spotted it we spent rest of the morning watching it and hoping for atleast a decent shot as it was dark and gloomy we later joined by ashford clan parker and chip shop chris and craig,cracking bird to brighten up your day
