Cassiobury Park - 16.11.11

First bird of the day was a Sparrowhawk that flew through the council yard. The rest of the action was down the bottom of the park (Western end) with 7 Mistle Thrushes (2 singing males), 2 Song Thrush, 2 Treecreeper, 18 Goldfinch, 4 Fieldfare and 2 Great Spotted Woodpecker all by the meadow. On the canal 3 Mute Swans had joined the 2 Canada Geese these being the first swan sighted other than a single flyover for quite a while.
