Bird walk 19th May

[Des Bowring]

A shortened ramble this morning and with just three of us in attendance. The highlight was good views of a couple of Goldcrests. The full list as follows:

Starling - one searching for and carrying food suggests a nest nearby

Blackbird - several feeding on the grass and lots of song heard

Goldcrest - one hear singing near the park-keepers compound and two seen at the top of the park - they may have had a nest in a  conifer in a nearby garden

Goldfinch - a few singing

Chaffinch - song heard

Dunnock - one near the bowling club

Woodpigeon - several

Collared Dove - one or two

Robin - at least one gave good views

House Sparrow - several heard in neighbouring gardens

Remember the next walk is in September - see you then!
