We arrived at this site just after 10:00 am, and we set our equipment up and walked to this viewpoint, we flushed two Woodlarks up ,after about 10 minutes of scanning dad picked out a large bird sitting in a tall pine which turned out to be a male Goshawk we watched it for about 10-15 minutes before it dropped down out of view.
we saw about 5+ Hawfinches moving around which we managed to to some good veiws of.there were 2 more really distance birds too , Matt then said he had another Goshawk flying to the left which was giving amazing views as it soared up high into the clouds. we then heard and saw a common snipe as it flew over head.
From here we went to bishop’s dyke for a Great grey shrike.

We arrived here roughly round about 11:30 and instantly heard siskin's calling in the tree tops,
we had about an 1 mile walk ahead of us, as we got half way down the path we met a guy who told us that he had just seen the shrike sitting in a silver birch tree, we moved abit further down the path and got amazing views of the shrike .
Dad, Matt and Rob went to see if they could get a better photo but the bird flew into deeper cover, when we arrived back at the car park we saw a Goldcrest,coal tits,meadow pipits , 1 male stone chat, Lesser redpolls and Siskin's, from here we moved on to Emery down to find some more Goshawks.
