Bushy Park
Much the same as it has been, though no sign of Siberian Chiffchaff, mind you I only had a quick look at 8.30am while checking the water level in the river.
Common Shelduck first of the year.
Drake Mandarins were courting a duck over the Brew House Pools.
Hybrid Aythya was with a Tufted female on Heron Pond.
At least 3 Sparrowhawks were around this morning with a pair displaying over Queens River. They were just not quite in the right position for a decent photo.
Stock Doves have quite a distinctive profile.
Skylarks were in good voice this morning.
Two Chiffchaffs and a Goldcrest were by the Longford River on the western side of the Woodland Gardens.
This Water Rail was in the Woodland Garden, I only know that because I saw it fly a short distance before landing and scuttled into cover. It was barely visible but is in the photo.
