Regent's Park May 2018

Regent's Park May's highlights

I say the highlights for may, there haven't been many. The wind direction and even though the weather has been reasonably settled hasn't persuaded the birds to head this way. This spring has seen the lowest number of migrants passing through the park. The species that are at there recent levels are Reed Warbler 7 males, Sedge Warbler 2 males a species that has never been a regular breeder is the Common Whitethroat at present there are 3 singing males. Fingers crossed that all these males manage to attract a female.



   I am not sure if the female has laid yet, she seems to be out of the box a lot, mind you there were 2
   females by the box in early May




    2 singing and displaying males have been present for over a month lets hope they have attracted 
    2 females.


    Slow to arrive in the UK with numbers down at the reed beds I visit in Norfolk. In the park they
    tend to arrive late. 







   If you are or no of someone that feeds the Herons please stop you are not helping the birds. They do
   not need handouts and will find their own food either in the park or nearby. This behaviour is not 
   normal, they are not a sociable bird.




   Scarce visitor to my park garden 



   Stock Dove is a species that is doing well in the park
