Pype Hayes Park and Plantsbrook Nature Reserve.











First off today was a quick trip to Pype Hayes Park to see if the Cygnets are doing okay and unfortunately was greeted to a sight of one dead, upside down in the water, which is shame because as you can they're getting quite big now. Birds seen at Pype Hayes were Blue Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Starling, Jay, Song Thrush, Grey Wagtail, Nuthatch, Mute Swan, Moorhen and Cygnet (4) The it was off to Plantsbrook to be greeted to a shopping trolley dumped in the first pool, which we shipped out of the water and took to the tip. Birds spotted were Blue Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Robin, Jay, Grey Wagtail, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Grey Heron, Moorhen, Tufted Duck and Great Crested Grebe. The rubbish in the last picture was left behind by a so called fisherman, pop bottles, cans, sandwich packets, tissues, disposable barbecues, gloves, fishing line etc... It looked a proper tip ! That was not including the four bags of crap picked up around the other pools. It makes you feel like not going sometimes but you can't let the underclasses win, can ya ? Especially when there's some great Funghi out there at the moment. More Funghi photos from today on my Flickr.
