It was bright, sunny morning with a brilliant blue sky. The autumn colours reflected in
the lake were beautiful.
The juvenile
Mute Swan
, which arrived a few days ago, is still on the lake.
Two
Cormorants
, one adult and one juvenile, were fishing and did not like the Swan
coming too close.
Unusually there was not a single Canada Goose in the park. They must have moved
elsewhere to graze.
The
Black-headed Gulls
were out in force and there were plenty of
Mallards
.
It was nice to see a
Grey Heron
, a
Collared Dove
and a
Song Thrush
.
We were hoping to find a Redwing and some other winter visitors but no luck this
time.
A full list of birds seen is given in the
Bird Table
.
