Back in Mote Park after being extremely busy the past 2 weeks. The sky was cloudy with no sign of the Sun breaking through, and I was surprised to only see 3 other people during the whole of my walk.
2 Blackcap, 1 Chiff Chaff, and 2 Whitethroat were heard singing, a Great Spotted Woodpecker called from an Oak overhanging the Weir, 2 Coal Tits sang from a Yew along Laurel Walk, 3 Treecreeper were calling from separate Oaks on Jenner’s Bank, roughly 14 House Martins were seen catching insects over the Limes, while a pair of Spotted Flycatcher also took advantage of the many flying insects as fed their 3 newly fledged young, and a Linnet sang from a patch of Bramble in the area of rough grassland.

71 Canada Geese were on the Lake, along with 4 Great Crested Grebes, 2 Mute Swan, and the countless Mallards, Moorhens, and Coots. There were 7 Black-headed Gulls on the Lake with 3 of them being juvenile birds, and 6 Reed Warblers were heard singing around the perimeter of the Lake.
