A trip to Plantsbrook today where it was a bit cooler than it has been lately but it was still pleasant enough. On arrival to the car park you could see there was plenty of activity in the rowan trees, sure enough on closer inspection the Blackbird population, including some juveniles, were having a field day scoffing down the rowan berries as was a juvenile Robin.
Birds seen today were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Robin, Collared Dove, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Grey Heron, Cormorant, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Canada Goose as well as the following juveniles, Robin, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Blackbird, Grey Heron, Moorhen (1), Duckling (2) and Coot (5). There was at least five Grey Heron present on the various pools today including three fine looking juveniles.
The warning about the algal blooms was a complete waste of time as a 'fisherman' walked straight passed it and went to look for a spot to fish, stupid pratt !
In the back garden I still haven't seen the last of the House Sparrow juveniles, there was at least two very young fledglings being fed this morning when I woke up this morning, they've definitely had a very successful breeding season this year, hopefully the local Sparrowhawks haven't picked off too many.
