Work in Regent’s Park has started to extend the area of reeds in area 2. Hopefully it will allow more Reed Warblers to breed.

Birds in Bushy Park

Green Sandpiper: one was flushed from the scrape in the Brewhouse Fields. At the moment the scrape is viewable from the Iron Bridge.

Little Egret: one flew from the same area earlier in the day.

Common Teal: 5 on a pool by the Longford River.

Redwing: 38 still present.

Fieldfare: 1 perched by the Iron Bridge.

Siskin: 30+ in the Woodland Garden.

Lesser Redpoll: one associating with the Siskins.

I wonder if you or one of the readers of the blog can help me.

The last couple of days in the early morning or once darkness has fallen a mystery bird has been calling in the vicinity of my house.

The call is a harsh yes quite deep and full 'koo core core, koo core core'.

It's quite loud and feels like it's a largish bird. I'm absolutely mystified as to what it is.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

Well Rob, we will see. I am not sure how many people are following my blog at present.Updates have been very sparse,due to lack of birds and my recent job change.
