Bushy Park

Nothing much to report. No sound of any Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers yet but hopefully soon, fingers crossed.

Common Buzzard: our regular bird is still present.

Water Rail: 2 birds calling by the river.

Kingfisher: a female near the scrape.

Redwing: at least 86 feeding in the plantations.

Lesser Redpoll: 3 in the Canal Plantations.

Siskin: 26 in the Canal Plantations.

Reed Bunting: 3 feeding in the Brewhouse pools and by the river.

 

I am not sure where he was hiding his other leg.

The Black-headed Gull shows how it is done.
