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.
Heard from a friend today that there were at least 2 male and 4 female Goosanders on the Turkey Mill lake next to Mote Park.....the wanderers decide to return the day I'm back away!!
