St Andrews Park

The monthly bird walk in the park produced the following:

Blue Tit - seen and heard in ones and twos
Great Tit - 1 or 2 singing birds
Coal Tit - 1 bird calling
Collared Dove - 1 or 2 around
Woodpigeon - several birds seen
Lesser Black-backed Gull - at least 1 drifting over
Carrion Crow - a few
Magpie - at least 1 nesting pair near the pond
Jay - 1 seen well on the yarn bomb tree
Mistle Thrush - the stars of the show. Two birds feeding on the grass and carrying food, so they almost certainly have a nest with young. Seen to chase off Blackbirds feeding nearby
Blackbird - around 6 birds seen and heard
Chaffinch - at least 1 bird hear singing
Starling - 4 or 5 birds
Robin - 1 or 2 birds seen and heard
Dunnock - good views of 1 or 2 birds
House Sparrow - heard chirping from houses along Effingham Road

After I left, I heard singing Goldcrest and Greenfinch near the play area.
