On a trip to the North East at the weekend we popped up to Kirkharle for a spot of lunch and onto nearby Wallington for a wander through the grounds. In the woodland we heard Nuthatch and Chiffchaff and here in the walled garden we watched Grey Wagtail, Treecreeper, Song Thrush, Wren, Robin, Chaffinch, Blackbird (my dad CityBirding got some nice pics of these birds) and this lovely Goldcrest, possibly my best sighting of a Goldcrest.
