Sparrows Nest: It was obvious from the outset that GOLDCREST where in abundance, as an estimate I would think that I had 50+ birds in the first 20 minuets. Roving around with the local population of BLUE TIT, GREAT TIT, WREN and ROBIN. PIED WAG and two REDWING high in the trees. Also several BLACKBIRD assumed incoming but no real guarantee. I also had 2 JAY and several MAGPIES, LONG TAILED TITS.
Oval: Best bird here was a single bird tucked in on the North East corner which only put in brief appearance for about a minuet before flitting of into the pines never to be seen again. Frightened by the usual dog walkers on the other side. GOLDCREST again with a scattering of the previous.
North Denes: But also a flock of 20 GOLDFINCH and 3 GREENFINCH. Found a couple on North Parade looking out to sea and after some difficulty sorted it out as a COMMON GUILEMOT which they and at first I was confused with. But then it was a long way off when I contacted it. Again good to see MED GULLS on car park with intimidate and full adults. With grass being cut MEADOW PIPIT had put in a good appearance and who can judge them as dull.
