Sightings: Some activity to the south of the enclosure included Blackcaps, Long-tailed Tits,

and some unidentified finches, either Goldfinch or Linnets but not sure as seen against the

sky as black outlines. The Long-tailed Tits returned to the woodland to the south where they

came from unfortunately. The Woodlarks were singing when we arrived and began again as

we left.
