A Change Of Venue Low Moor

After a poor Monday at Ogden (Grey Heron x 2 + 3 LBBG and no maddening mystery vocalist) I opted for Harold Park and Park Dam this morning.

Another cracking day of January weather interspersed with the odd effort from March saw a very good number of Swallows at both locations. 3/4 House Martin sticking to Harold Park Lake.


1 GC Grebe at HPL and a courting pair at Park Dam which held 10 Mute Swan versus 1 on the park lake.




Coots have produced several young both on the Jug Dam and HP lake. It was interesting to see both parents of a brood of 6 attack both a Canada Goose and the Swan.


8 Tufted Duck on HPL and another 4 on Park Dam which also coughed up 4/5 Herring Gull and 13/14 LBBG.
 Couple of singing Greenfinch heard.
