Symonds Yat wildlife sighting

The air was full of the sound of singing siskins. These birds are rarely seen in Kent but here they are regular visitors to the bird feeders. Within minutes of my refilling the mixed seed dispenser I had a siskin feeding. This was closely followed by great, blue and coal tits. Six pheasants (three of each gender) soon arrived to mop up any spillage.
Down by the river, the mallards were all paired up, and as evening set, the tawny owls began their chorus.
There was lots of evidence of the deer travelling down through the wood to the river, and badger s appear to use the same tracks.
