Now that I have started 5 days a week at Uni I am finding it increasingly difficult to visit the park. I couldn't visit the park until early afternoon today, but there was still lots of bird activity.
7 Goldcrests were noted, 2 Treecreeper called, a Nuthatch was heard, a Great Spotted Woodpecker called, a Chiff Chaff called in bushes by the Weir bridge, and it was great to see and hear the first Siskins of the autumn in the park. I had heard some moving through over Imperial College London during the week and I wondered whether they had reached the park yet as well!!
Of note on the Lake were 2 Cormorants, a Great Crested Grebe, and 2 Mute Swans.
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.

Hi Simon.
Good luck at uni, 5 days a week. It is also good to see you are keeping your eye in at the park.
well done for keeping up the visits Simon. you'll be pleased you did when you look back at your records in years to come :-)
