Sutton Park.

Nice to visit Sutton Park again today, it didn't feel very Spring like, but when does that ever matter.

It was great to hear all the bird song, especially with Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Nuthatch, Wren, Dunnock, Song and Mistle Thrush all heard in 'full song' most notably Chiffchaff and Wren who could be heard everywhere I went in the park.

As soon as I left the Banners Gate car park, I headed towards Longmoor Pool to see if there were any Mallard Ducklings about but ironically as soon as I got there two Treecreeper caught my attention, so I had to observe them first for a bit, great to watch them climbing up the trees, for the record there were no Ducklings, but there were three Coot and one Mute Swan on nests, one Coot wasn't on an ideal nest as it was right by the concrete wall, but the Mute Swan has chosen an awful nesting site which is right on the water bank where any ne'er-do-well can get near the nest and get up to no good, let's hope they remain there unharmed and successfully raise young.

The open portions of the park were on the whole very quiet, apart from Blackcap, Chiffchaff and Wren doing lots of singing and Woodpigeons and Corvids collecting plenty of nesting material.

Birds seen toady were, Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Wren, Dunnock, Robin, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Green Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Green Woodpecker, Jay, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck and Mallard.
