Birthday Birding

A nice long walk about most parts of the park had a few highlights, including the first Redwing of the autumn as three flew north-east over the Pit Tip Plantation. A Kingfisher flew upstream under the Vehicle Bridge, and an adult and 2nd-winter Lesser Black-backed Gull were on the lake at the north end. At least two Willow Tit at Leen Pastures and, from the top of the Quarry, a single Common Buzzard was soaring over the fields at Broad Valley.
