Not had much time to bird the park today. I had to to what all good husbands do and take my wife for some retail therapy. Once back in the park, 5000 runners, football tournament and hundreds of sun worshippers made the park an unpleasant location for migrants.
Below are a few photos taken recently that might appeal to some of you.
Recently fledged Hedge Sparrow
Not the most comfortable place to sunbathe
Not the best time of the year if your a newborn duckling
The next set of photos show a Greylag Goose trying to crash through dense undergrowth, for a reason only he knows.
Who’s bum is this?
And finally for those aviation lovers. This noisy snooper hovered
above the garden. Maybe I look a bit dodgy in shorts?

Do you know if the great crested grebes near the bandstand still have a chick? I saw them with it earlier in the week but yesterday could only see one chickless adult.
