A bright sunny day if a little chilly to start with. A pair of Mallard have three small ducklings. Two adult Egyptian Geese were together but there is no sign of goslings. A Cormorant was fishing in the lake before drying in a tree on the island. We found a Goldcrest near the entrance to the park and another over the far side of the lake. A small flock of Long-tailed Tits were a treat. We heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming in the distance. A full list of the birds seen is given in the Bird Table .
