It was a wonderful morning today during my first visit of the month. The water levels were almost back to normal.
3 Goldcrest were heard, a few parties of Long-tailed Tits were seen, 2 Green Woodpeckers were seen, 1 Jay was seen, some Siskin could be heard from the wet woodland along the Len, a Great Spotted Woodpecker called, 6 Redwing were seen, a Nuthatch called from the wet woodland along the Len, and a Kestrel was seen.
On the Lake were at least 7 Mute Swans, 31 Canada Geese, 2 Shoveler, 7 Tufted Duck, 1 male Pochard, 1 Great Crested Grebe, and the countless Mallards, Coots and Moorhens. The gull flock on the Lake consisted of at least 21 Common Gulls, and even more Black-headed Gulls. In addition to this, a Grey Heron fished along the Len.
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.
