News in brief

Monday 30th November 2009

Popped into Kingsbury Water Park briefly on my way back from Sutton but didnt see much in the way of birdlife. There were 3 Shelduck and 4 female Goldeneye on Cliff pool where the windows of the hide were kept firmly shut as the cold wind freshened through the afternoon. A Willow tit made repeated visits to the feeding station outside the hide and Fieldfares fed in the hawthorns along the track towards the canal. A Sparrowhawk wheeled lazily above Broomey Croft meadow but that was about it.
