Tuesday 21st February

Well, Spring is certainly on it's way, if not here already.  The cacophony of bird song as you walk through the park is fantastic, with the Robin's, Great and Blue Tits, and Blackbirds seeming to be at the higher decibel range followed closely by the finches.

Just the usuals were around today but seen in greater number as all species seemed to be flying around chasing their potential mates.  I could have spent ages out in the park just listening to the avian orchestra.  The highlight of my walk was watching an adult Swan chasing one of the signets around the pond in quite a threatening manner.  Let's hope that last years signets soon move on so that their parents can concentrate on getting the next generation on the way.

I also did see over a dozen Goldfinches today and over 20 Redwing flying around with the Starlings.
