Yesterday there were c.130 Canada Geese on E lake and nothing much else to shout about apart from 2 Grey Herons in the W lake ‘heron resting tree’ near the main bridge, and a party of Long-tailed Tits aka Bum Barrels from way back when. As usual they were pretty active and difficult to get decent shots of. I’ve posted 1 heavily cropped shot which shows pink eyelids.
Today, some of the Canadas had gone but there were still a lot present. In the lone Willow on the right by the E lake boardwalk a Chiffchaff was feeding, and 2 others were heard callihg elsewhere. Also by the Willow a constantly calling Cetti’s Warbler which typically wouldn’t show. A Water Rail called briefly there too. Just beyond the main bridge by the Mile Road there were 3 Goldcrests feeding together with a Wren, too high up for pix. There were 2 Stonechats on the W paddock hedge. The lakes were calm so there were some nice reflected images, esp of the Mute Swans, and a pair of Pied Wags were in the swan feeding area by E lake.
