My visit to Mote Park was made at mid-morning today. Despite the sky being overcast the light was still relatively bright.
Goat Willow
7 Nuthatch were noted,
3 Great Spotted Woodpecker were heard, a
Green Wooodpecker called,
4 Goldcrest were found,
1 Coal Tit was calling,
2 Treecreeper called, a few
Siskin could be heard in the North-east woodland at the foot of Jenner's Bank, a
Blackcap was heard in subsong from the hedge on the Lake's eastern edge - presumably a wintering bird, and a new for the year - a
Kestrel was seen in the rough grassland north of the River Len, a
Cormorant flew west, a
Grey Wagtail flew from the Old Pond, and
2 Pied Wagtails were seen in the parkland west of Mote House - another new bird for the year.
Kestrel
Around
28 Common Gulls, at least
200 Black-headed Gulls, at least
6 adult Mediterranean Gulls, and
2 adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls were seen, and of particular note on the Lake were
10 Pochard,
6 Great Crested Grebe, and
5 Mute Swan.

Nice to find a Blackcap Simon, won't be long before a few of his friends arrive:-)
