Sunday 26th July a.m.
The morning started well when as we were setting off a screeching noise above us made me look up to see 15
Swifts high above our house, also two
House Martins were flying low over the gardens. When we arrived at Harold Park there was hazy sunshine with a temperature of 10.5°C, we headed straight for the lake.There were
Canadas,Mallards,Moorhen,Coot,Mute Swan &
Tufted Duck here plus a pair of
Great Crested Grebes with three chicks.Above were a few
Swifts & a couple of
House Martins, we made our way up to the small pond.Here on some Water Lily leaves were five Moorhen chicks with parents close by making for some decent snaps.
We then headed the short distance down the road to Park Dam where there was another pair of
GC Grebes this time with five chicks.Good to see the
Little Grebes again with others including
Tufted Duck,Coot,Canadas,Mute Swans &
Swallows. Also present were a good number of
Common Blue Damselflies.
