Well, the birdsong may not have equalled the music of Bach, Handel and Vivaldi at Paul's concert, but we heard a Blackbird or two and that's close enough. The full list is as follows:
Magpie - one or two
Blackbird - two or three singing and several seen
Mistle Thrush - a late arrival seen after the walk from the cafe area
Robin - one or two, including one carrying food near the pond, suggesting a nest nearby
Dunnock - at least one singing and showing well at the top of a tree
Wren - at least two birds in song, one also seen well
Woodpigeon - several seen and heard
Feral Pigeon - ones and twos sprinkled around the park
Carrion Crow - three or four
Greenfinch - two or three, a couple seen well
Goldfinch - one flew over calling near the toilets
Chaffinch - a couple singing
Goldcrest - at least two seen well at the end of the walk
Blue Tit - not particularly conspicuous but heard occasionally
Great Tit - one or two calling
Coal Tit - one or two seen and heard
Long-tailed Tit - two or three heard and seen
Swift - screaming parties noted over the park
House Sparrow - two or three seen on surrounding properties
Lesser Black-backed Gull - two or three drifting over
Starling - just one or two seen near the toilets
Thanks to all who turned up.
The next walk will be on September 18th.
