Sutton Park.







Another great visit Sutton Park early this morning which is a great place as there's always something to see and do there and it's an excellent place to go birding and socially distance as the location is absolutely huge.

I entered the park today at the Boldmere Gate entrance and had a little stop off first at the first car park to see the large amount of cattle that were present and to see if there were any juvenile waterfowl on the water, sadly I couldn't see any but it was still great to see a Grey Heron and a Little Egret, there are also a lot of Corvids present at this entrance, mainly Carrion Crow with a few Jackdaw as well.

Then it was off further up the hill to the next car park for a good walk around the wooded area and heath land where the highlights were, Skylark, Linnet, Nuthatch and the sheer amount of songbirds you could hear singing which must be amplified by it being so open and the fact you are a fair distance from the road and there is also little or no air traffic at the moment.

Birds seen today were, Buzzard, Skylark, Linnet, Nuthatch, Chiffchaff, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Greenfinch, Robin, Wren, Dunnock, Starling, Jay, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Swift, Grey Heron, Little Egret, Mute Swan, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard and Canada Goose.

I'll hopefully have another report for you at the end of the week, taking yet another different route than the previous two.
