Mote Park Bird List

Below is the Mote Park bird list - a list of birds species recorded over the last 50 years, a grand total of 148 different species and also 8 presumed escapee species.  Although it is sad to see how many birds have slowly been lost from the park, it is also fantastic to know that birds are still being added to the list.  (If you are reading this, and you have spotted a new bird for Mote Park that is not on the list below, I would be most grateful if you could let me know by leaving me a comment on my blog, thank you.)
