New to birdwatching-The Lodge Reserve

Hi Everybody I am new to birdwatching and have recently joined the RSPB with my Dad. YAY!!!! I am into by bird photography using a compact camera possibly upgrading to a DSLR. Anyway this Saturday we are going to The Lodge in Sandy. I am just wondering what birds will I possibly see at this time of year? Where to look in the reserve to see these birds? Any help would be great thanks to any info!

Look forward to hearing from everyone.

P.S Does anyone know what the bird is below, I saw it in a shrub in my estate if it helps
