If the weather stays mild then there is know reason why they should fail. It also gives them a chance to build a nest without Coots interfering. But we will be bound to have a cold snap soon.regents park birds.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857667944318385224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16314333.post-58729758204580745772008-01-20T17:09:00.000+00:002008-01-20T17:09:00.000+00:00Two pairs of Great Crested Grebe doing courtship r...Two pairs of Great Crested Grebe doing courtship rituals on lake - a wee bit early..?castlehavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584183202237569367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16314333.post-54280785902362646032008-01-17T17:15:00.000+00:002008-01-17T17:15:00.000+00:00Hi Rose.It is good to here that you and Maggie are...Hi Rose.<BR/><BR/>It is good to here that you and Maggie are having a look up on the hill. Dave and I were only saying yesterday, that you too should spend more time in the park. Hopefully you can miss those full English breakfasts and be out before 10.00am. <BR/>So many things birds by then would be approaching the Norfolk/Suffolk border, having flown over the park earlier on.regents park birds.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857667944318385224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16314333.post-25587549092769791472008-01-16T22:33:00.000+00:002008-01-16T22:33:00.000+00:00Hi TonyWednesday 10.30am- The pair of Kestrels on ...Hi Tony<BR/>Wednesday 10.30am- <BR/>The pair of Kestrels on Primrose Hill were near their box giving good views, the female was being harassed by a pair of Magpies. <BR/>A large nest box (long and narrow) has fallen onto the path near the Kestrel box and another nest box in a tree nearby has lost its lid. Also a Common gull with a few Black-headed gulls on the playing field and 4 Mistle thrushes flew over.<BR/>Wed. 12-2pm.<BR/>4 Redwings feeding with Starlings and 1 Mistle thrush on Gloucester green. Another Mistle thrush near Cumberland green. <BR/>In the grove of trees near Chester Rd another Mistle thrush was alert to the presence of a Kestrel.<BR/>A Sparrowhawk seen briefly over Queen Marys Gardens flew off in the direction of St Johns Lodge.<BR/>A large number of Mandarin ducks (approx 5-7 males with several females)sheltering in the lee of Bandstand Island.
