BROOKLANDS PLEASURE PARK: A walk around Brooklands late morning produced 7
Chiffchaff, a
Blackcap, a
Goldcrest as well as a
Great Spotted and
Green Woodpecker around the bushes. The lake held 2
Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 2
Great Black-backed Gulls, 3
Black-headed Gulls, 4
Teal and a handful of
Coot,
Moorhen plus a
Mute Swan. Moving onto the beach the
Black Redstart was still present flitting from groyne to groyne along with 6
Turnstone on the tideline whilst offshore there was a lone
Great Crested Grebe.

Still around the northern end of the sewage works was 100+
Chub and also a
Yellow-bellied Slider which is native to the USA which must have been dumped by a pet owner.
