Cassiobury + Whippendell Woods - 29.4.20

A day in the park proved fruitful even before i'd left the yard as a Firecrest started singing from the adjacent gardens. This was a park tick for me and only the 2nd ever record for the park. Down by the meadow a pair of Peregrine flew over and the drake Gadwall was on the river with his drake Mandarin friend!

Just before lunch I headed up to the woods and half way I stopped and was amazed to hear another singing Firecrest!! None in 20 years then 2 in a morning!
