It was a rather dull cloudy day today, but the temperature, however was still mild on today’s quick walk round between 1.45pm and 3pm. 2 Grey Herons fished along the Len. 1 Kestrel flew over the Marsh. A Green Woodpecker called from Jenner’s Bank. 1 Chiff Chaff sang from around the miniature railway. Another Kestrel flew over the Meadow being mobbed by the local Crows. A Great Spotted Woodpecker called from the Len Wood. A Mistle Thrush flew from the Mote House view.
A brief scan of the Lake showed at least 7 Mute Swans and 4 Great Crested Grebes, together with the Canada Geese, Mallard, Coots and Moorhens. A Grey Wagtail and a Moorhen were on the Pond.
There seemed to be a large number of Grey Squirrels around, plus the willows in the park are starting to flower.
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.
