Birding in Creightons Wood & RSPB Reserve in Belfast

I had never been to Creightons Wood, at Craigantlet Hills and although it is not large, it had many of the small birds such as the Tits, Finches, Blackcap and Willow Warbler singing today.

There was Blackbird, Hooded Crow and Jay also in the wood.

I made my way to the furthest away outside hide of the RSPB  Reserve in Belfast and I met one of the

volunteers who told me that a Yellow Wagtail had been seen  a few hours ago.  I saw Shelduck, Godwit,

 Common, Black headed and Lesser Black backed Gulls, Teal, Shoveler, Wigeon, and Mallard ducks, Coot, Moorhen, Lapwing and Redshank.  Unfortunately I had to cut my stay short as I had a call that my brother had fallen so I never had anymore time to look for the Yellow Wagtail.
