Windy walk
Sun 11th - a late walk around the park with the dogs. Main lake held - 15 Greylags, 24 Cormorant, 29+ GC Grebe and a fair few Common Gulls (they look real good). Fingers had - several Shoveler, 2+ Teal, 4 L Grebe, and 6 Herons sheltering from the wind. Leaning on the Rough gate, a flock of c.30 Goldfinch got up & at least 2 Siskin with them. The Labyrinth is nearly finished - just need to put the path surfaces down. At least 8 H.Sparrows round the Centre.
