Redwing: same sort of numbers in area 32.
Kestrel male sunning himself in area 25.

Ok Tony - how many records in the park in the last 15 years?

The last and first record for Inner London flew NE 16th April 1996. So that just makes it inside the last 15 years. Could have roosted or may have come from the Wetland Centre.
