Sutton Park.






I decided to go back to Sutton Park again today following Saturday's visit, Saturday's visit took in walks around Blackroot, Bracebridge and Little Bracebridge pools where today I went to Longmoor pool and walked around a large part of the heathland and areas populated mainly by Pine, Alder and Silver Birch.

Highlights had to be seeing Goldcrest, Treecreeper and Nuthatch again, seeing a small flock of Redwing in the same area as a mixed flock of Goldfinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit and Chaffinch, plenty of Jay and it's always a pleasure to see House Sparrow and Dunnock.

The only downside (apart from the sporadic amounts of litter including a bucket of KFC and all the contents strewn everywhere including the receipt from Woking !) was that even though there are still five of this years Cygnet's left, the adults are trying to shun one of them away, I don't know why ones been singled out buy hopefully it's not harmed or even worse killed.

Birds seen today were Goldcrest, Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Redwing, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Coot, Tufted Duck and Mallard.
