Hi Baggie Dave, once again that's an impressive list. Where did you see the woodpeckers and Jays? All I ever see is magpies and crows. I've not see the Grey Wagtail. Saw a couple over the weekend on the Wood Brook/Bourne and Griffins Brook.
Hi Zomerset
The Green Woodpecker was in the open area near to Plough Close near to Clapgate Lane. There were several Great Spotted Woodpecker around, mainly along the brook. I would recommend listening to a recording of its call because it stands out quite a bit once you know it. They also have a noticeable undulating flight when moving around.
As for the Jays, they were in the strip of open area north of the brook fairly centrally along the brook. Hard to describe where really. Again, their call is a good way to find them. They often look like a magpie on first glance when flying away but are much more colourful. One even had a walk down the footpath along the brook about 20ft in front of me for several metres before flying off.
Cheers
