Another Funghi fest today which consisted of a trip to Pype Hayes Park to see how the four Cygnets are doing (they're still fine) and then a walk around Plantsbrook. Birds spotted on the quick walk around Pype Hayes were Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Redwing, Wren, Great Tit, Starling, Moorhen, Mute Swan and Cygnet. There is a batch of trees in the one corner by the fishing pool and your are almost guaranteed to see a Treecreeper or Nuthatch in one of these particular trees, it is a proper quality batch of trees for songbirds. Birds seen at Plantsbrook were Bullfinch (female) Chaffinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Wren, Dunnock, Shoveler, Water Rail, Great Crested Grebe, Tufted Duck, Moorhen, Grey Heron and Cormorant. There was just one lone male Shoveler at Plantsbrook, hopefully there will be more Shoveler arriving soon for him to be with, plus they are a cracking looking water fowl. I'm also hoping for some more rain and damp conditions, not only to rise the water levels in the rivers and lakes etc. but also to produce some more great Funghi, like today's fine examples.
