Nice little trip to Pype Hayes Park this morning where we are in between the splendid colours of Summer and Autumn and most flowers are past their best and most of the bird breeding has finished, still as always it's great to be and about observing nature.
As you might guess it was fairly quiet this morning apart from the pool which had .c100 Mallard, a lot of which were this years juveniles, also seen was a juvenile Gadwall, Domestic Duck, hybrid Shoveler, hybrid Runner Duck and hybrid Mallard, as well as Mute Swan, Mallard, Moorhen and Coot.
Between the Plantsbrook and the pool there was a Buzzard and Kestrel hunting, so let's hope the other birds stayed well hidden, also seen that area were Parakeet, Song Thrush, Jay as well as the usual songbirds and plenty of Corvids.
Birds seen today were, Buzzard, Kestrel, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Dunnock, Parakeet, Song Thrush, Jay, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Canada Goose, Gadwall, Mallard and Domestic Duck.
