Cassiobury Park - 9.4.13

The first Linnet for the park this year flew over the bowls club this afternoon but was only heard. 50+ Redwing were still present with 3 birds singing again by the toilet block. 10 Jay were in the park includin 8 in one tree by the tennis courts around 9am doing what looked like displaying to each other. Just as I walked out of the mess room to go home 7 Lesser Redpoll flew over.

Other news from the park to reach me was the sighting of the first Reed Bunting, Blackcap and 4 Sand Martin of the year. The count of 4 Sand Martin was the first multiple sighting since the 1950's and is still a species I've yet to see in the park.

A piece of news from yesterday that I forgot to add was of a Little Egret flying over Kings Langley towards the M25 whilst driving home.
