2 x Spotted Flycatcher together this p.m in the Island pool vicinity of Dunham Park. Several Treecreeper and feeding their young is always a joy to watch. Greylag Geese in the Bollin field. A Tufted duck (f) nest sitting at the Oxbow lake with the male on guard duty 1m away. Meanwhile, on the central pool the female Mute Swan is clearly in the maternity ward as there were 2 tiny cygnets; not sure if the male was banished or even aware as he was way over on the other side of the pool. No sign of any of the Woodpecker species.

A walk around the park and canal this morning. 5 Greylag in the Bollin flood meadow and up to 9 Stock Doves around the park. Best of all though was a very scruffy looking Red Kite flying over the Water Treatment works and then drifting over Dunham Woodhouse. A first GM record for me.

A pair of Willow Tits gave reasonable views today despite being very active and mobile, near the River Bollin to the south of Dunham Park.
