It was a gorgeous sunny day on todays visit between 12.15pm and 1.15pm with hardly any wind at all. A Chiff Chaff sang from around the Old Brothy. 1 Grey Heron fished along the Len and 4 Kingfishers chased each other up and down the river. A Chiff Chaff sang from the Marsh Alders. A pair of Treecreepers pursued each other up the Alders next to the ‘Kingfisher’ footbridge. In the water around and under the ‘Kingfisher’ Bridge were lots of fry.
A quick scan of the Lake showed at least 5 Mute Swans and 4 Great Crested Grebes, together with the Canada Geese, Mallard, Coots and Moorhens. There was a large flock of Black Headed Gulls and Common Gulls on the Lake, plus 2 Med. Gulls circled above the Lake. A Moorhen was on the Pond.
A Nuthatch clambered down the twisting bark of one of the Sweet Chestnuts on Jenner’s Bank, and a single Chiff Chaff sang from within the Wet Woodland.
Hi, my name is Simon. My local patch is Mote Park, one of Kent’s largest parks and right on the edge of Maidstone, the county town of Kent. It is a former country estate, and records of the Park date back since before the 14th century. The park has a variety of habitats and this blog will note all the wildlife that I encounter in them.
