I took a spin over the water to the UK to do some birding for about 10 days. They have a few birds(some which are common)over there that we don't have. Those been Green Woodpecker, Dartford Warbler, Marsh and Willow Tit, Corn Bunting and Nuthatch. So I decided to split my trip between England and Wales. I wasn't disappointed as the weather was great and the list of birds was amazing. Species of birds see were..........
