BROOKLANDS PLEASURE PARK
The single Avocet was still present this morning at the Southern end of the lake until 10.20am when it flew out to sea. It is thought that this is the first record of Avocet at Brooklands Pleasure Park so somewhat of a site Mega! There was also 9 Teal and a Grey Wagtail on site, please note that there is currently a lot of disturbance on site due to re-construction of the lake so early morning visits are advised especially on weekdays .
