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.
