8th September

Regent’s Park

A fairly quiet day in the park so far with most of the birds present at the site of the Old Golf and Tennis School, area 39.

Common Sandpiper: a bird has been present on area 8 for the past 4 days, at times it can be hard to find.

Firecrest: a female was in with a mixed tit flock in the hedge that runs north of the enclosure. She was very elusive and I only saw her 3 times in 30 mins from 9.20am.

Garden Warbler: two were present in the enclosure.

Common Whitethroat: one was present here and another in the chat bush in area 36.

Blackcap: six birds in area 39.

Willow Warbler: one in a mixed tit flock.

Chiffchaff: 5 in the same flock and 4 in area 31.

Reed Warbler: one in the Wetland Pen, area 32.

there was no way that this really high flying bird had come from the park.
