Saturday 16th
A very cold afternoon today, part of the bottom lake was still frozen ! 6 Mallards today, they seem to be paired up never leaving each other.
The Kingfisher was there again today flying up and down the west bank of the lake. Up on the west beck way path, two groups of finches, 4 Chaffinch and 6 Greenfinch.
Found the large group of Tits around the Dell ford, around 20 birds of Long Tailed Tits, Blue Tits and Great Tits also a Treecreeper with them. I would guess this is the same group I see regular, especially as the Treecreeper is normally present with the group.
Cutting through the wood to the park I flushed 2 Redwing, the first of this winter. They both showed the red patch under the wing as they flew off into the wood.
The Redwing is a winter visitor to us from the Scandinavian region often seen in large flocks with Fieldfares, usually for the Dell, you can see few of these together in the park but not yet this year.
