Sutton Park.









Trip out to Sutton Park today being as as it was a bit cooler and much better for walking on the moor and heathland.

Highlight of the day was seeing a juvenile Treecreeper being fed by an adult which was also teaching it how to climb up a tree, it's always a pleasure to see one of these wonderful little birds. Another juvenile bird I always like to see is Wren and I saw two today, which was nice. Another good sighting was seeing two Green Woodpecker having a very loud squabble which also entailed them chasing each other form tree to tree. As always it was great to see a Kingfisher even if like today it was seen darting across the waters surface.

Birds seen were Buzzard, Kestrel, Kingfisher, Blue Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Wren, Robin, Willow Warbler, Treecreeper, Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, House Martin, Swallow, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Canada Goose as well as the following juveniles, Treecreeper, Wren, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Duckling (4) and Coot (1).

Other wildlife see today were many Butterflies which included Peacock, Small White, Ringlet, and a patch of Hawthorn which held many Gatekeeper including  the one pictured above, many Meadow Grasshopper including the one pictured above and Grey Squirrel, Rabbit and the free roaming Cows.
