The trips:
2/1/08
A quick morning stomp round the Middle Lake yielded a reasonable 32 species, none of which were terribly exciting. For the first 15 minutes I had nothing but magpies and woodpigeons, so I guess I should be grateful to have seen anything at all. The highlight was probably the nuthatch, only the second one I've seen in the park. Also notable were the little grebe I found skulking round the island, and a rather high number of shoveler. The other birds were mute swan, canada goose, egyptian goose (only 2 of the usual 4), mallard, tufted duck, great crested grebe, cormorant, grey heron, coot, moorhen, black headed gull, feral pigeon, ring-necked parakeet, wren, robin, blackbird, fieldfare, redwing, long-tailed tit, coal tit, blue tit, great tit, jay, jackdaw, carrion crow, starling, chaffinch.
Unfortunately a 9.30 appointment with the dentist meant I didn't have time to explore the hinterlands of the park, nor to hunt down a few park regulars (pied wag, green woodpecker, goldcrest). I should have time for at least one more trip before university calls, though - hopefully I'll get something decent then.
