Waterloo Park in the snow

Not the best day to start a blog about wildlife, but it didn't turn out too bad! The park is just down the road from where I've just moved to and is a lot bigger than what I was expecting. A beautiful tree lined path leads from Angel Road toward the pavillion and bandstand area, and these trees were full of Blue Tit, Siskin and Goldfinch chirping merrily away in the sunshine. Pied Wagtails bobbed around the frozen fountains and Mistle Thrushes and Blackbirds were feeding from the few remaining berries around the edges of the courtyard.

Long Tailed Tits and Chaffinches were in the trees just south of the pavillion, along with a few Robins and Magpies, and Collared Doves and Wood Pigeons sat amongst the far trees near the tennis courts. A few Starlings flew over, perhaps to join a larger roost which I've yet to find.

Last but not least, the bird that I've failed miserably to attract into the garden, the House Sparrow. They call loudly from the bushes in the carpark and I've seen them before bathing in puddles along Angel Road.

The park doesn't look a bad location to find Foxes, but as the park gates are locked at night it might be difficult to see them.
