Montpelier Park!

A quick wander round the park this morning revealed a single Redwing which posed nicely for the camera before flying off in the direction of Cheltenham Road. Also a pair of Carrion Crows, a few Woodpigeons and a singing Robin.

Montpelier Station was quiet apart from a Grey Squirrel and another Robin.

There was a very persistent singing Coal Tit in the park this morning and nearby at the station a male Blackbird was looking for invertebrates under the dead leaves while no less than 5 Blue Tits were feeding in one tree and a Dunnock was singing.

It was very quiet on the reserve this morning apart  from a Grey Wagtail on the brook, some Great and Blue Tits, lots of singing Robins, and plenty of Winter Heliotrope in flower.

St Andrews Park!

It was all very quiet in the park this morning apart from a party of 8 or 9 Long-tailed Tits, a Blue Tit, several Magpies, a couple of Black-headed Gulls, 2 Starlings and several Goldfinches. The first Snowdrops were in flower in their usual place.
