Saturday 18th June p.m.
A quick afternoon visit to Harold Park where it was 16°C with dull overcast conditions but at least it was dry.We headed for the lake where there were a good number of
Canadas along with the expected other species.The highlight was seeing the pair of
Great Crested Grebes with four young chicks, spending most of their time riding on one of the adults back.The other adult was looking for food and coming back with small fish possibly Sticklebacks.A couple of
Swifts were overhead as we went up to the small pond where there were more Canadas with some large goslings.
