Pype Hayes Park.







Nice yet again to be blessed with clear blue skies to go with the lovely frosty Autumnal morning. 

Highlight of the day was easy again today, namely that of the sighting of a pair of Goldcrest, they were drawn to to my attention by the lovely song they have, also in the same wooded area were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch and Robin, how wonderful to see so many songbirds in such a small area. The main area of the park was adorned by many vocal Song Thrush, as well as Blackbirds, Carrion Crows and Magpies, all of whom loved the apples that I took for them, it's always a pleasure to take food out for the wild birds especially when natural food is scarce, on the pool the Mallards and Coots loved the wild bird seed I took for them, the Mute Swans and Canada Geese looked disappointed but they won't get bread from me all the same.

The Kestrel pictured was also the last spot of the day, what a wonderful looking bird, it was nice to get some decent photos of it, just a shame my camera battery died when I was taking a video.

Birds seen today were, Kestrel, Goldcrest, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Robin, Jay, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Mute Swan, Canada Goose, Moorhen, Coot, Muscovy Duck and Mallard.
