Yet another nice sunny and warm Winter's day with wonderful blue skies. Today it was off to Sutton Park for a walk around the heathland, the woods and Blackroot, Keepers Dam and Longmoor Pools.
It was nice to be out and about and enjoy the great outdoors but to be honest birding wise it was a bit of a letdown, a fact which was backed up by a couple of other birders I spoke to as I was heading home just as they were starting their day, even the pools were very low on waterfowl both in number of species and the amount of birds.
Still like I said it was nice to be out all the same and the birds I enjoyed seeing were Buzzard, Kestrel, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Great Spotted Wodpecker, Song Thrush, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Mute Swan, Coot, Tufted Duck, Domestic Duck, Mallard and Canada Goose.
Numbers wise the top birds were Buzzard which were seen all over the park with five spotted circling high up at once, Corvids who numbered in the hundreds and the humble Blackbird and Robin.
