The park is becoming very busy and muddy during the wet weather. The
uncontrolled dogs are a nuisance.
Our spirits were lifted by seeing two unusual birds. A
Siskin
has been seen before
but not often.
There were a few
Lesser Redpolls
feeding in the alder trees at the
south end of the lake next to Selwyn Close. This is a new bird for our park list.
The family of two adult and six young
Egyptian Geese
were swimming in a well-
marshalled flotilla across the lake.
There were many
Canada Geese
and
Black-headed Gulls
noisily chasing any sign
of feeding. Today we did not have the challenge of trying to count them.
The usual water birds were all present. But the finches and tits were playing hard to
get.
A full list of birds seen is given in the
Bird Table
