I was very wary of the Moorhens in Harold Park. A few of them were skulking around 🌳 bushes using distraction tactics. The idea is you look 👀 at the two in front while one comes up from behind and you’re done for. Believe me blunt force trauma inflicted by a bird jumping 6 feet 🦶 into the air and savagely pecking your temple isn’t funny 😆.
The lake wasn’t too busy; Tufted Duck down to three for example. 7/8 Herring Gull in various age ranges & an adult LBBG. Several small gulls, 3 Mute Swans, Coots. A bunch of Goldfinch heard nearby.
Park Dam was windswept and once again Tufted Duck were down to three. 1 each f Goosander, Cormorant & Grey Heron.
Pr GC Grebe ditto Greylag Goose. Finally I managed a Kingfisher here, the first in quite some time. Only a few small gulls, Mistle Thrush & couple Blackbird.
