Sutton Park.

I clearly enjoyed last weeks visit to Sutton Park as I went back this morning, what a lovely morning as well, frosty and crisp upon arrival and throughout morning as the sun came up there were some lovely blue skies and stunning views of the park.

I was going to go to another gate this morning but decided to go back to the Banners Gate entrance and do a slightly different walk but not get lost today as I did last week but I still headed in the direction of Longmoor Pool first.

Highlights were seeing Shoveler on Longmoor Pool, strangely only females though whereas there were only males present last Wednesday, hearing lots and I do mean lots of chirping Goldcrest amongst the Gorse, Nuthatch, Greeen Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, lots of Jay's, seeing a very impressive mixed flock of Fieldfare and Redwing feasting on a huge holly tree and observing plenty of Grey Squirrels burying nuts and conkers in the ground. 

I didn't see as much fungi as last week but the one on the photo above was easily the most impressive, you can't really tell how big it is in the photo but it was huge.

Birds seen today were, Kestrel, Fieldfare, Redwing, Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Goldcrest, Nuthatch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Bullfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Wren, Robin, Mute Swan, Shoveler, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Moorhen and Coot.
