Black Park - 24 & 26 April 2018

This was primarily a walk, which on both occasions produced a Raven, which are present again this year in a suitable breeding area. Mandarin Ducks were also present, with four males and female on 24th and seven males and female on 26th, plus a Grey Wagtail on 26th. On both days a pair of Egyptian Geese were present, the male was ringed, and was found to have been originally ringed at Walton on 27/6/2011, 7 years previous, and these two days turned out to be the first re-sighting of the bird since 2011.
