Woodland Burial Site and Old Coach Road

We had a quick look at the woodland burial site this afternoon off Blindfoot Road to choose my plot!
There was a shelduck and two oystercatchers on the little pond on the way in and goldcrest, chiffchaff, and blackcaps singing in the woods.

Afterwards we walked along Mossborough Hall Lane to the Old Coach Road, it was very windy and there wasn't much about. Three more oystercatchers and three wheatear in the ploughed field next to the field with cows in were the best birds around.
