Regent’s Park.
Things seem a little quiet at the moment, hopefully we will soon have a warm weather system move up from Southern Europe.
Thanks to Birdman-Euston for still getting out and about. Time is running out for him to get a Med Gull, I am sure he wont let us down.
Little Grebe: one on the main lake.
Great crested Grebe: 2 off of area 8.
Shoveler: 14 present.
Sparrowhawk: 2 birds present.
Water Rail: one still in the rail ditch, area 2.
Lapwing: one circled above the lake at 8.20am.
Redwing: one was seen, where is our usual flock.
Siskin: 12 birds in the Cricket Pen.
