With great thanks to the vast knowledge of Andrew from the RSPB, we had a glorious bird count in the park for their Garden Birdwatch.

Our friends,  the Cheeky Rascals Child Minding Group were also counting in the Wildlife Area, where we began. The children were so energised and interested.

We were there for 11 mins & saw:
2 Blackbirds
2 Carrion Crows
2 Goldfinch
2 Great tit
4 Blue tits
1 House sparrows
1 Robin
5 Wood pigeons
1 Feral pigeons

We moved over to the Rose Garden for a more sustained session for the prescribed one hour, and this is the count submitted to the RSPB.

4 Blackbirds
5 Blue tits
2 Carrion Crows
5 Goldfinch
5 Great tit
15 House sparrows
1 Robin
8 Wood pigeons
8 Feral pigeons
1 Dunnock
1 Coal tit
1 Chaffinch
1 Common Gull
1 Grey Heron (flying overhead)

Why not consider becoming a member of the RSPB to support all the great work they do and learn much more?  Andrew came to us from the Central London group who hold a variety of meetings and talks.

These were our results last year.
